Zensational seems to be a speed crazy nut, and that's just what they need to go with The Pamplemousse.
Bob Baffert is no Barry Abrams. He doesn't have a history of running his horses off of one week, but if Zensational comes out of his race today feeling good, then why not use that speed to help set up his really big horse?

He wants to win the Kentucky Derby. That's the race that's gunna have the pace in it that he wants. A top 2 is good enough in the S Anita Derby. He doesn't do that stuff (run horses back in 8 days etc.) very much. Even Abrams hasn't been doing it quite as much this meet. This track is too tiring for it. Don't get me wrong, he wants to win the race, but not like he wants to win the big one. Horse is competitive, and pulls himself up when makes the front. Don't know why people can't see that. He's not gunna draw off like they want to see him do. He is just now starting to tighten him up. Maybe he likes Churchill, and maybe not. He's a classy horse. If he stays healthy, he's gunna keep winning big races.The race before last should of showed people a lot. The track was against what he did that day. To me, Churchill is very quirky. If he fails there, then he will be tough in the other legs of the T.C. He's classy. He's the type that can rebound quickly from 1 bad race. So, people should watch what they say (when he does run a bad one.)
