I think the outside post cost him about 32-34 lengths, and he only lost by 29.

Very little run up at the back of the chute.

Useless race to analyze. I don't think he gets 10 panels.

Me either. At the risk of being ridiculed (LOL), he looked pretty fragile too.

Maybe not, but man is he a nice horse. He just essentially WORKED a mile faster than most 3YO stakes are being run. The more Derby preps I see, the more I think he may be able to hang on the 10F. This is NOT the 2007 class by any means.

Have you seen how bad he wings that front left, Phil? I dunno... I'm a little concerned. Believe me, I'd like to see him go all the way in the Derby, but the longer he runs, the more he wings that leg out and I don't like that one bit.

Pyro? I'm not ready to toss Court Vision (slow as he may be) out yet either.

I've seen him run live twice, once at Saratoga in his allowance win (which I thought he was the most impressive 2yo at SAR, wrote that here somewhere...) and at the BC. Never noticed the winging thing, interesting observation but plenty of really good horses have had funny running styles, no? Seattle Slew, for one, was all over the place with his front legs.

I predicted a victory by 8 lengths. He won by 7.5. Obviously the horse is sore.

Hard to run past em all when you're out front the whole time.
