I think it looks outstanding. There is a ton of talent. I think Mott likes the cards he’s holding. I don’t really like any of the Bafferts.

I laughed out loud.

It’s kind of like when I love a hoss and someone says Surly picks him on top. Funny thing is, it used to be because it would hurt the price, now it’s because he probably is gonna get beat.

Game Winner & Improbable to Rebel which would split in to two $750,000 races if 20 or more enter..

Normally a 50-20-10-5 Derby point event, a split would award 37.5-15-7.5-3.5 to the super finishers..

Filled out nicely. He passes hosses like they’re standing still.

Jay Privman, Oaklawn Park , 2019-03-16 - DRF Live Posted : Mar 16, 2019, 7:42 PM

Trainer Bob Baffert hoped for two wins rather than two seconds in divisions of the Rebel on Saturday at Oaklawn, but said he was happy with the way his colts Game Winner and Improbable performed and was "thankful" he had a place to go with them after the San Felipe was cancelled last week at Santa Anita.

"I'm just thankful I got to run them," he said in a phone interview Saturday. "They ran their races. They just got beat. Both ran big races off a layoff."

Baffert said both would return to Santa Anita to train. Game Winner will stay home for the Santa Anita Derby on April 6, and Improbable will go back to Oaklawn for the Arkansas Derby on April 13, he said.

He's not scared to come up the rail either. I like that.
