To me Hidden Scroll never looked comfortable in that race. I would not be suprised to hear of a physical issue.

After he broke, if the kid went on with him he wouldn’t have got into that uncomfortable position. Make the lead and then slow it down, not choke the life out of him in a bad spot.

I agree with this. I really hope not though you because he could still be the best of this group.
I'd love to see him healthy and train up to the Preakness. Play no games and go up front. He would be so dangerous, fresh.....

Hidden Scroll in the Preakness would be fun. Any indication they’re considering that?

Nope, but assuming he's healthy, why not?
Maybe they take a step back, remember he only had a maiden win.
He could go Pat Day mile, Sir Barton and Easy Goer.
Or an allowance at Belmont, even vs older.

I read somewhere the other day...and this was after the Louisiana Derby mind you...that War of Will was the early favorite for the New York Turf Triple.

Based on that psychedelic drug-fueled "logic", I have to think that Hidden Scroll is at least current second-choice for those races...

Garrett O'Rouke said last week on a conference call that they would consider it if he didn't run well in the Florida Derby.

Are the fields for this year's Triple Crown so devoid of talent that we're waiting with baited breath for a horse that hasn't even hit the board outside of his maiden win in the slop to appear and run a hole in the wind?

Im still high on Bourbon War to turn for home like an out of control freight train with a drunkard conductor if he gets 46-47 half to close into. I'm even high on Code of Honor, who looked all but done on Saturday heading into the stretch yet he never wilted. I hope to see 10-1 or better on both of those in May.

yup those are the main two horses to not sleep on, and i think we will get better than that. I like Code of Honor a bit better since he already proved he can win.

I'll be surprised if either goes off at less than 10-1.

Last-race-performance dominates my own capping, and I was pretty impressed with the 1st two finishers in the FL Derby. Yes, the winner had an easy setup, but we're talking a 7-length margin back to CodeOfHonor and BourbonWar. The top two finishers have as much and probably more room to improve than the competition.
