Race 7: Gypsum Johnny (#6)
- Was once good enough to easily beat a field like this, and last race suggests he’s getting back into form.
- Could have won that race by twice the margin if not geared down.
- It’s a very good sign that Linda Rice, who previously trained him, is getting aggressive off the claim.
