Fed Biz what did you all think?

[Calzone Lord]

Fed Biz looked like a very good prospect today.

I had mentioned in the thread about the Pletcher Discreet Cat 2yo that the Macho Rocket debut maiden race at Hollywood Park was sure to be a productive race.

Macho Rocket was the sales topper at OBS April. He worked an unblinkered 1/4 mile in a sales best 20.40 seconds. He sold for just $22,000 as a yearling -- and resold for $825,000 at OBS April.

Baffert had been working Macho Rocket for seemingly forever and even had multiple six furlong works into him and about six gate works into him before his debut.

I was pretty certain Macho Rocket would debut at odds-on favortisim if Baffert ever got around to bothering to run him in a race.

He debuts on a Sunday at Hollywood Park with Fed Biz in the last race. Fed Biz (A Giant's Causeway out of Wild Again) was the one who was bet. Macho Rocket went wire-to-wire at 6-to-1 odds.

TVG cameras showed Baffert staying to watch that race (it was like 8 or 9 PM) ... they pan to him after Macho Rocket won and Baffert looked disgusted. You could tell by his reaction he didn't give a sh!t about Macho Rocket winning and Fed Biz was the reason he was there.

Bling Cha Bling pressed Macho Rocket -- made a serious bid for the lead against him on the turn -- and faded to finish 7th. He came back and destroyed a MSW field wire-to-wire in a grass sprint. Fed Biz was 4th as a beaten favorite -- he won the faster of split heats today as a 2nd time starter. Zackn'mat was 2nd to Macho Rocket last out -- he was 2nd to Fed Biz today at 8/1 odds -- and ran faster than the winner of the other split heat at Santa Anita went two races later today.
