Thoughts on today's performance? And what 4/7 prep makes the most sense?

Missed the race but he's one of my few Derby horses left.

I'm worried about turning into the female RHT (in terms of jinxing) (oh meant with affection of course) so you all have been warned.

It's great to hear he looked so good.

It was another Pletcher Florida freak show. He'll likely never get a softer setup, and he capitalized on it. I'll be eagerly awaiting his next start, where he'll be ridiculously overbet.

That was an ok group of Turfers, he isnt suppose to be 8 lengths best even with a modest half. I really hope this act doesnt travel to NY.

It certainly looked too easy to have given him any bottom. Other than that he certainly seems a nice horse.
