If Essential Quality doesn’t make it for some reason or doesn’t fire, this group is something else.
What has Essential Quality actually done on the racetrack to separate himself from quite a few other contenders? He’s gotten one perfect trip after another and run figures that put him very much in the mix but hardly a significant favorite. Perhaps he will show real improvement on Saturday, but call me skeptical.

Tarantino is apparently pointing to the Bluegrass after running this weekend in the Jeff Ruby.

Curious to see the odds for the Blue Grass. I thought Highly Motivated ran pretty well in the Gotham considering the bit of trouble he had and coming off a layoff. It'll be his first time around two turns but I think he can beat Essential Quality.

By the way, are my eyes playing tricks on me? The chart says Highly Motivated was back 2.5 lengths at the top of the stretch and finished 1.75 lengths behind. It looks like he made up much more than 3/4 of a length.

Being a half to Micheline, I’m going to keep an eye out to see if he ends up on turf some time in the future.

I'll have to give it a listen. I've been working from home for a year now and it's amazing how much less free time I have than I used to.

The Shadwell NY-bred Panadol (Flatter) appears to be Derby-intended..
