No offense, but no horse not trained by Todd Pletcher was passing Scat Daddy Today

Scat Daddy is a much better horse than I ever gave him credit for.

That about sums it up for me too. After the Holy Bull, I had pretty much written him off as a contender in the major 3yo races this spring. His last two have demonstrated that I was very wrong.
I still don't anticipate that I will include him in any wagers on Derby day, but I certainly vastly underestimated this horse's ability.

he impressed in the Sanford was it ? when he dug deep to beat Tueflesberg. i'm not a fan of his breeding effective tho it is, that's for another thread, but he's tough.

not sure matz would be crazy about running him again before the derby -- but that $100k from today puts him right on the cusp of the earnings cutoff at this moment.

Jack Junior will also be toying with the idea of running in the Derby so that will set him further down the list.

anyone know where I can find a replay of the race for free?

ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION- ESPN.COM has the replay on their horse racing page.

Chelookee (sp) should run in the Lexington and then be the spoiler in the Preakness.
