The Kentucky Derby is always a good prep for The Fifth Season. It Happened Again might roll, but I like Enclosure and Color Me Blue.

Don't know how many people watched the Smarty Jones, but it came back relatively solid with a 89 BSF. Junebugred was coming out of a MSW at Aqueduct that he won going a mile. This was his first start around two turns and he rated comfortably just off the lead, working out a very nice trip.

Reckless Jerry and On Fire Baby were not so fortunate and both wound up 4-5 wide the entire way. On Fire Baby will be very dangerous back against fillies and Reckless Jerry as well in the Southwest.

Hopefully D. Wayne's experiment with Optimizer as a dirt horse is over.

Totally agree with this analysis. Reckless Jerry and On Fire Baby will have significantly better Thorograph numbers based on their trips. All three look to have a nice future.

As for D. Wayne..............does he ever stop experimenting?

Laurie's Rocket saved most of the ground, but I still liked his effort because he finished okay despite not getting much of a breather on the front end.
