Edwards in the saddle .\u00a0 This 3 yo chestnut is certainly no stranger to upper level competition having 3 starts on the year , last 2 among stakes or better company .\u00a0 Today he stretches out the legs and makes a run at a mile and if he’s anything like his sire … he will make that big late run for the wire .\u00a0 If your betting this guy have your pace maker recharged and get your mouthpiece polished up because those heart attack late runs could have you doing backflips and grinding your teeth flat if you don’t .<\/DIV>
