|   Rebel being worth $900K for what isn't even the final prep is fantastic.  That will bring some horses! |

|  30-1 morning line I'm liking that Gary Stevens hoss who ran way slower the same day as the southwest. For him to pass after that pace which was 3 seconds slower to me says he's gonna really be rolling with the fast pace anticipated in the rebel. That chopping running 2 hoss is fast. Gotta think the one hoss and the undefeated sprinter are gonna go too. In the words of the late great Clocker Lawton.... Long shot special |

|   I like Petrov, hoping he is a bit further back but not too far.

|   That was the best race he has run.  Maybe he wants to be on or near the lead.

|   I don't get the handling of Terra Promessa by Irad. She likes a long rein with a very soft hold where she's allowed to bow her head down low. She absolutely hates it when the jock grabs a hold and shortens up on her reins,when this happens she's going to fight the jockey something fierce. She was not a happy Filly today.... Mor Spirit is a very nice sort,he's obviously improving. Madefromlucky washed out pretty good today,would expect a better race next time. Simply put.......which Pletcher is Javier going to commit to for the Derby ? It looks like Todd is going to have at least three for the Derby..........perhaps more. And since the Wood/Bluegrass are no longer Gr. 1's,aren't the odds around 1-9 that Todd ships one of his 3yo's out West to the projected very light in talent(unless Unique Bella shows up) SA Derby ? |
