you guys are making it like he ran up the track or something, and the derby will be more like 22 45.2 1.09.3
rather the 22.2 46.1 1.11

in my mind that is a big difference

Court Vision is TERRIBLE. He has NO shot to win the derby.

You are right. He'll be 25 lengths back and make a breathtaking run to get up for tenth.

Pathetic for the horse/rider combo when you can't run down War Pass in a race like that. Clearly the target. You can forgive them if War Pass freaks on the lead. You can forgive them if any OTHER horse freaks for a big performance.
-It is unforgiveable to have War Pass run a sloppy-second, with a weak finish, and Court Vision comes gallupmfing up 1.25 lengths behind your MARK.


A better ride could have POSSIBLY had Court Vision more competitive in the Wood. Gomez was fashionably late to the party. Anybody's mother looking at the form could have said "you gotta expect Gomez to be a little closer to the pace than when he let it get away in the FOY..." but the adjustment didn't happen. However, that race was such a grade IV/Allowancen1x POS, that a "more competitive" possibility isn't a compliment in any way.

Damn War Pass and Tale of Ekati couldn't run 9 furlongs in 1:54 and change. Cost Court Vision the race...oh and that darned Gomez!!!

No it didn't make a difference. Jesus Christ couldn't get that plodder closer to the pace. You're just a sourpuss idiot.
