Speaking of the Pick 5. There hasn’t been too much discussion around the actual races this weekend. Who are people singling in the Pick 5? I’m going to lean on The Critical Way. Thought he ran really well last out. Cuts back .5 a furlong. This race isn’t as tough as his last three.

Why do you have to single someone?

Let’s call it, budgetary constraints.

Looks like Medina is not going to run on Saturday looking sore as a boil out there.

I’m no chemist, but it did seem odd that none of the horses Baffert ran this weekend had that extra second or third gear.

The stuff he is getting popped for is masking the real stuff he is using. Hopefully he goes away. The game would be much better without him and his wife.

Normally if I love a horse I bet more than $20 win and place. Good info on Medina Spirit though. Hard to beat twitter morons who know nothing.

The horse just isn’t that good, has never lived up to the hype.

To avoid pressing Medina Spirit at all costs. I hope the West’s are happy that’s two triple crown races horses they own trained by Baffert have been used to avoid Baffert’s other entry.
