Not sold after one good effort in Tampa Bay Derby, but will definitely be interested to see how he runs in the Blue Grass Stakes this weekend. Deep crop of talented horses this year.

Bolt D'Oro, might have had a chance had his trainer Ruiz, realized the San Felipe doesn't award roses. He had his work cut out for him to start with Daddy running fourth in 2002...he may place in 144. Good Magic may hit the board , he has the foundation, but doesn't seem to have the closing down the lane speed. Justify may hit the board, but does he have the foundation to run back against the best in 4 weeks without it (IMO)..like proven champions who have traveled the world winning in 4 countries such as Mendelsohn. Audible may hit the board, I like him over Justify. If Quip runs well next weekend , he
may step up to be considered ITM 144.

after the winners as Juvys are considered , who surprisingly , except for McKenzie, are still running..only a couple more who have stepped up thier game from 2017 and perhaps one who has no 2 year old credence seem to be probable for winning 144

it sure would be nice to see a rabbit burn out Justify and his greenness in kentucky. Bolt couldn't catch him..he left his derby 144 in the San felipe.

Good luck beating Justify because of his foundation being built on straw supports. It's 2018, not 1988. this guy is the greatest dirt trainer ever, you really think a bruised hock is keeping Mac out of KD? He knows Mac has 0 chance v Justify and he knows Justify will be toast by June and Mac will be coming back for Haskell Travers when these other colts are toast. He is the best and knows horses better than anyone, he plays the game like Mozart played music.
