I was really impressed. The number should come back decent, even with that glacial pace it will end up being the fastest route race of the day. He really did it easily and had tons left at the end.

Best 2YO I've seen this year.

I totally agree! and he was very green before agreeing to go outside and once he did goodbye. Anxious to see a TG number for him.

I can imagine he was already pounded at the Future Book at Wynn yesterday.
I was a little surprised he hasn't been listed yet, but I'm sure they took plenty on him in the last 24 hours.

By the way...here's the top 10 horses who've taken the most money so far (or offered the lowest odds at least) at Wynn. Lots and lots of dead money if you ask me.

Looking at Lucky 6-1
Buddy's Saint 11-1
Tiz Chrome 20-1
Vale of York 20-1
Jackson Bend 25-1
American Lion 25-1
Rule 25-1
Nobles Promise 30-1
Sidney's Candy 35-1
Blind Luck 35-1

All the California horses seem to take more money from the Vegas futures books anyway, but being Take Control's hype, it being a Baffert, etc...I would guess he's already under 30-1.

With 5 months to the race, and these odds, these are all sucker bets. Every one.

6-1 on Looking at Lucky? No thanks. You will probably get better odds on Derby Day after he flops in the SA derby

I highly doubt he flops anywhere, but you could still get around 5-1 IMO.

I dont care about the beyer in this case.....He was green as hell and a first time starter. He is bred all day for dirt, not turf... He is not like POTN, a Baffert who was not really expected to move up on dirt, with this horse there is every reasson to think he will be much better on dirt.

I would take an 80 Beyer first time out, 100 times out of 100. What did you think, he would run a 113?
