That's a shame...it would have brought a little life to what is a rather ho-hum Saturday card with an N3X race masquerading as a Grade I.

What do you mean by it was moved to wednesday. Did the original race not fill and they put it back as an extra for Sunday, or is there another race Zito have in mind?

I actually meant exactly what I said. There's no other story. The race for Saturday was moved to Sunday.....Fountain of Youth day.

That's cool. Better for the weekend crowd to get a look at the 2yo champ.

You're correct. Curious to why they did not use the race for saturday and put it back on the overnight for Sunday. The office is probably looking for a few more palms to grease to get the race to go.

I don't know. I'm so impressed with Denis of Cork that I might have to change my derby pick.

I have no derby pick yet. I saw Pyro at FG but he's always chased War Pass, so let's see how WP fares this weekend.
Who knows, this could be the year that another theory goes down, gelding, 2yo champ.....what's next, no 2yo foundation?

At this point if I had a decent 3yo (funny thought huh?) I'd rather pay to play and run in the G2 FOY for $300k on the same day. Who the hell wants to run against War Pass for their share of $60k.
That's a pretty high allowance purse, maybe they were out rolling old ladies from the slot rooms to get extra change to raise the purse?

The horses he's running against can barely compete in high priced claimers....this should be interesting lol.

Post Time Odds? 1-20? At best? Or does somebody talk themselves into Web Gem and bring it up to a juicy 1-9?

I'll talk myself into Jet Run. After all, he IS the full brother to Water Cannon.

Given that Web Gem was owned by LaPenta until a day or two ago and clearly his "sale" was simply to facilitate filling this race for War Pass, I won't be using this one on my ticket.

Default War Pass Race

Was Anyone On Track To Watch This Race? Was I In The Twilight Zone, Or Did I See The 6 Finish 4th. Was There An Inquiry For 4th? Why No Mention In The Results. Highway Robbery Or What.
5-3-2-6

This is odd. I am looking at the Equibase chart and it definitely shows the finish as 5-3-2-6, yet the track payout for the Superfecta is given as for a 5-3-2-1 finish. Did the placing judges blow it? Or did equibase type it in wrong?

The 6 crowded the 1 into the fence, looked like the 1 horse came within a deep breath of going over. 6 was disqualified. Pretty scary.
