The question of Bode's tactics is the great unknown. I "think" we can agree Hansen will inherit the lead almost regardless of PP. How good do they think Bode is? Will they just let Hansen take them as far as he can (ala the Bluegrass)? You let too many horses in the race when you wait too long and you under estimate your opponent as well (i.e Hansen). Off the cuff, and getting ahead of ourselves without the PPs, I think Bode will be right at Hansen's throat. Hence 22 4/5 and maybe a flat 46.
One scenario I still think is very real is Hansen going wire to wire. Part of me thinks he didn't see Dullahan come up the outside in the Bluegrass (if it would have mattered anyway).
All fun discussion either way.
