I predicted 7, although one would have to think all of these will give it a go, save a an ailment which nobody wants to see.

The connections of the California based horses have all gone Roberto Duran on this race.

Who is missing? Firing Line and Dortmund both took 2 shots and are spent horses.

Next weekend is the Affirmed Stakes that will have some late bloomers and a couple of reboots. If horses like Kentuckian, Prospect Park, Madiba and Cyrus Alexander had a bit more bottom to them, perhaps one would have pointed to New York.

Jerry Hollendorfer also took over the training of Desert Dynamo, who was being groomed as the next Distinctiv Passion under Jeff Bonde, and promptly stretched him out with great success this weekend. Second dam was the Tartan mare Coup de Fusil, who knocked heads with Personal Ensign, Lady's Secret, Sachauista, etc.

Beyond California, I would have liked to have seen Divining Rod point to the Belmont.

How much bottom do you really need these days? Materiality doesnt strike me as a colt with a lot of bottom and he is 2nd choice. I guess this is his last race for a few months anyways after he gets gutted

Well, yeah, those are the two that I'm referring to.

That was an interesting race the other day by Desert Dynamo. Not sure there was much behind him.

There was once talk about Kentuckian being aimed for the Preakness. That seemed premature to me and I'm glad it worked out the way it did.

I think Kentuckian could be any kind. If he goes long successfully, like I suspect he should, it could make a great matchup should he and AP square off.

Personally I was hoping Tencendur would come back in the Belmont to take a shot. I saw he was working on the turf and back on the dirt at Belmont a couple of days ago. Anyone hear why he is passing?
