I don't necessarily like the fact that he's in the Santa Anita Derby, but I was anticipating that colt's next start. He was clearly a short horse in the allowance, but I liked the acceleration he displayed with that middle move. Been working up a storm just as he did before his return.

For those that haven't been visiting XBTV, here's the Irish Freedom/West Coast drill that changed Baffert's mind about whom to run. This is a classic Baffert audible, running a horse that's doing well. West Coast just can't get to Irish Freedom, despite being waiting on mid-stretch..
