Please tell me that IEAH isn't skipping town with Stardom Bound because they think she can't beat Pioneer. I hoped they watched his race. He looked worse than she did last week.

You think Baffert had this horse peaking for this start?

I thought he was much more vulnerable here than last time out, though this field wasn't much.

He would kill SB in the SA derby, as would the moose.

Do you think Frankel had Stardom Bound peaking for either of her starts? I don't think he can beat Stardom Bound. The Pamplemousse might be a different story though considering the likely pace scenario he'll get. But I think she beats Pioneer.

I think it likely Frankel had SB more cranked up for the Santa Anita Oaks than Baffert had POTN cranked for a forgotten g2, with the SA Derby a few weeks away.

I think they're both phenomenally overrated.

PoN was taken out of his game in this race so didn't look as good as previously. The lack of pace meant he moved too early and ended up in a drive for a half-mile instead of the usual 3/8 or 1/4 mile. Same thing happened to Chocolate Candy up north last out. That they were able to win their races despite this handicap demonstrates their superiority over their respective fields.
