BikinMike444 · I won't leave you in suspense any longer; I hate Apart in the Whitney and think that the Stephen Foster was extremely weak and the fact he fell back around the turn, then clanked up for third makes me think that. If you like FOF so much, why not Rail Trip, he did win the Hollywood GC agianst open, and has the worse trip in the Easy Goer. Plus, 2nd off long layoff is always a good play. · 671 days ago ·
