Smash
 

Hollywood 7th....

Bet down to 1-2 for Baffert and just exploded late.
Dare I say, DERBY HORSE.

Supposedly Baffert gave the horse out on Facebook. I am not friends with him so I wouldn't know.

Shocking, another Smart Strike that can run.

Would love to see him smash a few of those Pletch Inc. colts next spring…

HAHAHA... He told me last night on FB, the horse cant CANT LOSE. LOL, this was around 1am my time after my mess of a date.

Yeah, horses that break their maidens going 5 in July are usually the kind of horses you'd want going 10 furlongs next May.

McKenzies Way is a horse to watch for next out at Del Mar.

I think he is a Del Mar Futurity horse but I don't know about being a Derby horse. That horse doesn't really look like a 1 1/4 mile horse despite being by Smart Strike.

I liked the way he did it, the speed was rode early to clear. Garcia did not have to engage, Smash just settled for him, I think he touched him twice at the top of the lane and the horse took off. Of course he might not be a 10f horse, he might not even be around by then, and there will NEVER BE VALUE, but I could def. see him being this years Lookin at Lucky.

Doesn't this really depend on the ELIXIR supply --- for each?

Not like this is something that's coordinated.

I would definitely make him one of the early favorites, if not the favorite for the Grade I Del Mar Futurity at this point.

Bob is loaded with maiden winners, but not the normal type of maiden winners. They all seem to have distance pedigrees. He had the Bernardini win easily the other day, and he had a Rock Hard Ten filly, cruise on turf.

I think he has a Tapit that I loved when I was at the Keeneland Sale, but he was a mess physically. Named Benergy

He is loaded. There is no doubt about that. The Bernardini filly won nicely. She was heavily touted just like the colt today.

Good point, fats



Btw, wonder if there are any frozen blood samples from the top two in that '07 Belmont laying around anywhere? lol

Not really the point, but I singled Smash in the pick 4, looks chalky, but I did go all in the last leg on one of my tickets.

Now that you've got your dream man crush on FB, why date?

This horse started exactly a week later than Lucky did last year..

Any news on Misremembered?

just won going away at DMR 6-1..

:tro:

yup, and hossy crushed it.

Redboard by proxy!!

Nice going Hoss!!

That's no redboard by proxy. He called his shot here in advance.

This is the worktab. Anyone have any clue where he is going to run? That last work works looks real serious. I think this horse is a star. Any info on what Baffert has planned for him is appreciated. Since Bob gave up FB its hard to reach him :)

I remember reading something about him recently, but I don't remember what, or where, nor do I really care.

You could try looking on various racing sites for the info.

Off a normal Baffert workout pattern, i would guess two months. He's not shy about working a bunch of 5/8's and 3/4's. When you see him pop one out of the gate 3/4, you know he's just about ready...

I have been for 3 weeks.
