Chelokee is definitely a second tier horse. . . There's gonna be pressure to send him to the big summer races but I hope Matz doesn't cave in. . .

Nice run by Flashy Bull. Four straight now. Great ride by R Albarado. Magna G ran a huge race, D Stripes gets an 'ok.' No reports from Master Command or Wanderin Boy who are MIA.

Very happy for Flashy Bull who took a long, long time to come back from the Derby difficulties. Got to spend time around him last winter at Palm Meadows, and he's a really nice horse. Kudos to KMc who was patient with him with a turnout after last year's Haskell. The McLaughlin Brothers and West Point always believed he was going to be a real racehorse and no matter what anyone thinks of the field, winning the Foster is a career-maker. Will certainly have Kiaran on the show tomorrow to talk about it...

It was a G1 win, and I am glad that he will now be famous for something other than being the only horse whose jock made him run 13f in the Kentucky Derby.
BUT, his visually impressive move on the far turn was a bit deceptive I think. He ran by a rabbit, a glorified Hawthorne specialist, and a horse in Wanderin Boy that always falls apart if he doesn't get his way on the front end. Not exactly what you might expect to run by in a G1. He had a very nice trip sitting 4th with a big gap between himself and the top 3 who zipped the opening half. The fact that he ran the final furlong in JUST under 13 seconds, (with the place and show horses gaining a good deal of ground on him) despite having such a good trip doesn't seem like a great sign to me either. You certainly have to give the horse some credit. He has now won his last four races and they have come on four different racetracks, (and all of them had fairly decent sized fields) which isn't too bad for a horse that was running in two $40,000 N1X races a couple of months ago. But he may be a solid bet-against in his next start, especially if they have their sights set on some of the big 10f races later in the year.
