Derma Sotagake would be first pick now but I am rooting for Tapit Thrice since I have early bets on him so Nick’s stable looks good to me. Derma Sotagake is already at Churchill so jet lag will hopefully not be much of a factor. It would likely have been a mistake to bring him from west to east. Horses like people do better moving east to west although the response is not exactly the same.https://trainermagazine.com/european-trainer-articles/2013/8/8/do-horses-suffer-from-jet-lag The best info for people I have found is from a neurosurgeon and some of it would apply.https://jackkruse.com/jet-lag-rx-human-flight-biohacking/
