![]() I'm not trying to give you a hard time, as when you aren't touting every Baffert runner your opinion is solid, but how could you endorse this horse? He has never run a particularly good race. He was very much with a strong bias in the Wood. What about him suggests he has a "big shot" in the Derby?

1. He's obviously fast based on all speed figures. 2. He's finished strong in his 2 races prior to the Wood. 3. Was given 9 weeks off after his N1X win, which would explain him being a little short in the stretch of the Wood. He was still well clear of Cloud Computing and the rest. 4. His front-running style should keep him out of trouble in the Derby. |

![]() There's one reason I give Battalion Runner a chance- he might be lone speed. Hear me out on this before you guys shred me.
So Battle of Midway is a likely pace threat, right? When Prat rode him 2 back he sat off the lead and pressed/stalked. If his connections think he has the versatility to not need the lead, I think they may sit off the pace. State of Honor went straight to the lead twice in Tampa and got trounced. Leparoux had him sitting off the lead in the Florida Derby. He didn't like being in tight on the rail, but once he got clear in the stretch eh finished strong. So whoever rides State of Honor might try and have him sit off. J Boys Echo will press too, but probably won't go straight to the lead. So all of a sudden Battalion Runner might have the lead by himself. If he doesn't set the world on fire in the early stages, he's got a chance to hang on for a piece. I think when it comes down to it, it's really if Battle of Midway engages with him early. If he doesn't he could run huge. For that reason I hope Pletch considers Paco Lopez for the mount lol

![]() Steve,
for Gafflione- Is he waiting on Pletcher to see if Pletcher will give him the mount on Patch again, or is the decision solely up to Gafflione at this point?

![]() Girvin scratches, Mike Smith picks up the mount on Lookin at Lee and he's 12-1 instead of the 20-1+ people are hoping for.

![]() Saez frontrunner as of now. Desormeaux a possibility with Romans frequently leaning to him in this spot over the last few years and having ridden J Boys (admittedly badly). Miguel Mena an outside shot too. Alsbaugh a decision after sleeping on it tonight..
