I don't agree with this.

Garrett O'Rouke said last week on a conference call that they would consider it if he didn't run well in the Florida Derby.

Are the fields for this year's Triple Crown so devoid of talent that we're waiting with baited breath for a horse that hasn't even hit the board outside of his maiden win in the slop to appear and run a hole in the wind?

Im still high on Bourbon War to turn for home like an out of control freight train with a drunkard conductor if he gets 46-47 half to close into. I'm even high on Code of Honor, who looked all but done on Saturday heading into the stretch yet he never wilted. I hope to see 10-1 or better on both of those in May.

yup those are the main two horses to not sleep on, and i think we will get better than that. I like Code of Honor a bit better since he already proved he can win.

I wish he would of won or steamed up the pace so that Code of Honor would of swooped by. They really messed with this horse, I am glad to hear they will be going back to the drawing board, I wouldn't even consider a Triple Crown race until he passes a few hoops first.

He looked good but running in optional claimers is a little "light" for me.

I'll be surprised if either goes off at less than 10-1.

Last-race-performance dominates my own capping, and I was pretty impressed with the 1st two finishers in the FL Derby. Yes, the winner had an easy setup, but we're talking a 7-length margin back to CodeOfHonor and BourbonWar. The top two finishers have as much and probably more room to improve than the competition.

I told my horseplaying friends the day of the race my handicapping theory. I didn't spend a week analyzing. I looked that morning and saw in two seconds there was no speed. And when you add dominant lone speed that is a golden opportunity and I slayed the race.

The rare redboard double-down.

Take it easy on him. I remember what it was like the first time I correctly handicapped a race. Exciting times.

Dunbar 04-02-2019 05:52 PM

I'm just glad Maxidar isn't posting.

Call me a cynic, but I don't believe in any horse coming out of that barn (and a few others) at Gulfstream.
