Baffert did say this one's the most like his sire of any of them. Maybe he'll take the seasoning a little more seriously this time. I still think PG's Derby got screwed up because Bob got cocky about what he had.

Ever since Baffert married that smokin' hot blonde from Louisville it's been all downhill for his horses.

Agree wholeheartedly. Bob, wanted the triple crown bad, and wanted a horse left for the Belmont after previously coming up short, so he undertrained him for the Derby. PG should have won the crown, imho. What a specimen he was ontrack.

I got this race wrong. I underestimated Cobalt Blue, and overestimated Air Commander. Cobalt Blue did have things pretty much his own way on the front end, but I was still pretty impressed with his race today.
Anyone know what the time was for the last furlong?

I did the same thing mira. You aren't the only one. I was worried about CB having his way on the front end, but did I listen to that worrry? NOPE!

I think we made the exact same picks in the contest this week though. One first and two seconds out of 3 races.....not bad.

I was happy. I actually handicapped the races during my lunch hour on Friday. I actually do better when I spend more than five minutes handicapping the races.

I went back and forth with SS and AGS too. I went with AGS because I figured he knew the track. SS impressed me today. AGS I want to see win big outside of Tampa, but he is on my "I WANT SO BAD TO BE IMPRESSED WITH" list.

I don't think it was undertraining, but rather Stevens running the horse too close to a torrid pace. Also, you cannot take anything away from the race Monarchos ran..a sub 2 minute Derby and an over the top performance from which he never recovered.
