Denis of Cork will be a nice bet in the Derby if he makes it in the field. He needs pace, which he will assuredly get. The entire race shape was 100% against him today, and when he was being nudged down the backstretch, he never even inched-up.

A lot of Derby winners have clunked in their prep. Not touting him as a Derby winner, but they don't have to win every race, especially in a year like this.

The last couple of Derbies have been pretty much formful with chalky results especially for the Derby. I like it being this wide open with no clearcut favorite, makes it a very attractive betting race with a possible big payoff.

Does Cowboy Cal have graded earnings from his grass races? I imagine so but haven't seen his name on any of the lists.
Speaking of Pletcher 3yo's, what happened to The Leopard?

Hawthorne's rail was pavement today, watch the race that Master Commander was in. He was hopeless around the turn, smoked, and all of a sudden he comes flying up the rail again.

Congrats to ET Baird in looks like what be a Derby mount for him, and Lara and Louie Roussel....
