He got a great set up but I was wrong about Sole Volante. He’s a very good turf horse and pretty good on dirt too

I wonder how good Chance It and As Seen on Tv are then. I threw some money on Chance It in Pool 2 based on the Sam Davis.

Speaking of Chance It - was his Beyer figure for the Mucho Macho Man changed? Everyone reported it as a 94 after the race but DRF has it listed as a 99 on their website.

Nadal is built like a brick shithouse. He has muscles in places that most hosses don’t have places. Your derby winner.

He looks good...but not ready to crown him the winner yet.

Nadal is obviously very talented, but to think he's a Derby winner off the San Vicente performance is ludicrous. The horse he dueled with finished second, so it's not as though the pace fell apart.

Nice horse, great trainer, too much hype.

You weren’t sold on the idea he has muscles in places other horses don’t have places?

I know I was.

Really doubtful about this race. Excession is not that good...and I know he got a pace to run into...but I suspect this race may not prove to be very good. I guess we’ll see. I’m skeptical and like Authentic the best of Baffert’s horses...but if Nadal is legit, it looks like he is pretty stacked this year, moreso than usual.

That was a great effort in my opinion.
