Interesting that Chuck Lopez chose Gottcha Gold over Temporary Saint in the Pimlico Special. Actually, pretty amazing that he has options in a Grade one race.

He made the right choice, even if Gottcha Gold's ideal distance is shorter than a mile and 3/16ths.

If everyone but the deep closers scratch, the track is wet, nobody else gets out of the gate, etc.

He may have made the right choice. However, I doubt either will do much more this year but maybe Gotcha Gold will get loose in some stake at Monmouth.

Neither is really in the hunt Friday but I bet Temporary Saint beats Gotcha Gold.

Trivia:

Wandering Boy was actually the 4/5 favorite the last time this race was run.

The winner? INVASOR.

I got Gottcha Gold over Temporary Saint for another beer against ya. Action plays, even if they finish 2nd last and dead last.

He is, however, one of the few who understands the value of early speed on the inner.

I think one of the fillies in the Miss Preakness (Piesinoe?) just ran yesterday in the Railbird at Hollywood. I'd imagine she'd scratch.
