The glaring omission in his campaign was the Arkansas Derby, which usurped the traditional KY Derby date when CD shutdown.
The owner said point blank he did not want to "run against Baffert".
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.
