The fn clock at GP wouldnt certify on an episode of Barney.. I guess the second quarter in the Swale was 21 and small change?

Nice call on this one Hooves.

The race completely fell apart up front. I know people say this every year, but these 3 year old colts look far from promising.

I don't know, I thought Rule ran a pretty big race.

Couldn't agree more. I don't know if TP and Velazquez didn't really believe that he could rate because he was certainly ridden aggressively from the gate.

This colt is slow and needs a perfect set up. The Florida Derby was a slow race, I wouldn't get to excited about any of these.

So because he gave it up late to two plodders he needs a perfect set up? The horse ran against the race flow and that's worth something, whether you think he's slow or not.

I disagree. I think Ice Box will hit the board in the Derby.

The horse ran ok he is just slow.. I doubt he is less then 30 to 40 to 1 to win derby and after her gets trounced I would think Pletcher gets him to the other derbys and off the triple crown trail

i kind of agree. rule just got beat by horses that were not in the same zip code as pletchers other horse in the fountain of youth...rule looked liked he couldn't get 9 panels let alone 10. ice box looked ok though.

Rule is ok, but it seems fair to say that he wants no real part of 10 furlongs after yesterday, as well as the fact that he appears to be a stone cold speed horse with no ability to rate. As for Ice Box, other than yesterday when the race fell apart, where is Ice Box's fast race? Ice Box is simply slow and will be lucky to run an Imperialsm or Denis of Cork type race in the Derby. 3rd at best. I mean come on, Pleasant Prince was 2nd, and he's awful.
