There was once a time? That sounds like today to me.

war pass has the necessary earnings....he can build a good foundation without going after other graded races. better to find the right race conditions, rather than chasing a purse.

Looking forward to seeing him run this year. Was so fast last year in the two races I was lucky enough to see him live at Toga. Of course I bet against both times. I think he faced Slew's Tiznow in his maiden.

Fun to see if he can carry the speed to the classic distances.

Should be a nice long workout for the champ ... and something that should set him up nicely for the Tampa contest.

I don't want to jinx anything, but he could probably run backward and beat this group.

Lightning could strike War Pass, and he'd get up and still win

I am interested in how War Pass will run today. Obviously he was a brilliant 2 yr old this will be my first look at him as a 3 yr old, especially want to see if he has filled out as he has gotten a winter under him. Some horses do not make the jump so easily from 2 to 3 so from that standpoint I am very curious to see how he looks in the post parade.

This may already be buried in this thread or the selections, but I note the "changes" on the Gulfstream Park card today list "No Show Wagering" on the War Pass race.

FWIW
