From a fan's perspective, that's proved disappointing, because Baffert has subsequently ruined all his 3yos this year (I don't expect Uncle Chuck, who looked horrendous down the stretch--as he did at Los Al, to make another start any time soon). Nadal and Charlatan were in top form at the time and perhaps the only other 3yos that could give Tiz The Law a run for his money.

I don’t disagree although I can’t blame them for not wanting to run against Baffert at Oaklawn. It does seem like that extra time off he had in between Florida and the Belmont has him in very good form.
