2nd Belmont

[Rupert Pupkin]

Pletcher has a first-timer in here that can run. Don't let the slow works fool you. This colt worked :21 1/5 at the Ocala March Sale, which was the fastest work of the day at the first preview. He was a $290,000 buy-back. I didn't love the horse, but he can definitely run. He didn't make my list but I still think he will be tough today. He's kind of a big, long-striding horse. So I don't know if he will necessarily be that quick from the gate. I would have preferred an outside post just in case he doesn't break that quick.
Anyway, I wouldn't make a big bet on him but I can tell you that he has a lot more ability than you would be able to tell based on his slow works in the Form.

Richi, were you at that sale too? Are you talking about the Wiseman's Ferry colt? Good looking colt... I liked him, but I liked that Johannesburg colt a lot too. He was RNA'd as well.

Sorry... was posting the same time everyone was typing. Unfortunately, I can't watch the races from work so missed it.

DrugS told me yesterday he couldn't lose.

NIce call Rupert, wish I had seen this before...
