You've got to love a Grade I where you can make a legitimate case for any of the 8 horses winning. That Woodward field is a stellar one, if not in ability than at least in accomplishments, especially in this day and age.

I watched the replay. Very nice.

Could someone post a link to where it says Chatain is out of the Forego please? Thanks. . .

chatain has a bruised hoof, but was getting a special shoe in hopes he could run comfortably. he was supposed to gallop this morning, and then they'd make a decision. haven't heard anything since.

that's what I thought. . . Thanks

Anyone hear if Chatain is out for certain? I think I have been staring at the Forego PP's forever...

Penna was supposed to tape an interview on OTB-TV with Mark Cusano, about Chatain. He cancelled because the horse was not going to run. At this point, it seems very unlikely that Chatain will go.

Thanks. That is too bad, he has shown a lot of promise and it's too bad they can't keep him together.

Neither of those horses will win.

If the track is set up Saturday like it was Friday, they will..

Steve,

Hopefully the track won't play the same way it did yesterday. I guess we will find out after the first few races. I am not sold on Lawyer Ron just yet.

I think his willingness to rate now is going to make him a very solid horse for the rest of the year and particularly in this race.

His rankness is always what seemed to do him in and it looks like Pletcher has done a great job in curing that. Plus he looked outstanding in the a.m.

If the track stays the same as yesterday, Wanderin Boy probably wins.

Yep. I hope today proves to be an "Awesome" day as wel... hahaha.

Forego - High Finance
Woodward - Wanderin Boy

Baffert....again

i thought these west coast horses suck? where is kimmeaster?

well I'm impressed. we should all bow down to lawyer ron right now.

All the sheet players had Lawyer Ron Bouncing like a super ball today. He looked like he's still interested in winning. Looks like L.R. moved to the head of the older horses division.
