Was looking at maybe as high as 4/1...now DTS becomes the obvious favorite at probably around 1/2 or 3/5...and on paper looks like he cant lose, but you know how these things turn out.

I'll be shocked if Munnings isn't the favorite.

He is in the doubles. I am surprised. You are right.

Munnings ran up to all the hype. Wow, hes good. Really good.
That was very impressive. Had Fabulous Strike been in there, he may have won by more.

It's hard to lose with that set-up, but he probably is pretty good. I thought he was going to open up more at the end, but maybe he was geared down. I wasn't paying attention, so not sure.

I think Munnings might be a terrific bet against at Saratoga. That same trip is unlikely to be made available three races in a row and he's going to be everyone's darling after beating older horses and earning what should be a pretty large Beyer.

Johnny V on the rail. Go figure? Yeah, this is a FAST horse.

I'm as big a Tom Durkin fan as anyone but I cringed in midstretch when he said "a dazzling display of sprinting ability."

You knew JV was bound to find the rail once in a few thousand rides.
