Thought he easily looked like the best of the three big prep winners today. His third start and first on dirt.

What about the runner up in there? Feels like he has some serious upside.

Stretch run was vaguely reminiscent of the 2003 Wood Memorial when heavily favored Empire Maker had a tough time asserting superiority over Funny Cide.

Not convinced that Highly Motivated will handle the added distance, though; he jumped back to his left lead at the 1/16th pole and that pretty much put an end to the dogfight.

I wonder if Chad Brown will wait for the Preakness.

I’d love to see him in the Met Mile.

Absolutely has upside but thought the horse had everything his way today and couldn’t finish the deal.

For what it is worth, 4 dirt races at Santa Anita so far and no one has really passed anyone the last 1/2 mile or so.
