Analysis: It’s an all-or-nothing shot this weekend in the Grade 2 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct. This strategy worked out well for his stablemate Always Dreaming in the Florida Derby, and many think Battalion Runner could be in the same category. The Wood Memorial is a good spot for him, as he may go off favored in that race.
