What do folks make of West Side Bernie's Wood? Considering how poor he ran last out, I thought it was a nice rebound. His trip wasn't completely clean either.

His 3rd place finish in the Holy Bull was a very sneaky outstanding performance.
I'd draw a line through the race on that crap surface at Turfway.

I too think WSB has a shot to hit the board (based off his Holy Bull far turn move) but if you take IWR out of Saturday's Wood, look at who WSB is running down. If you were to put some of the other quality horses in that race, I can't see WSB running-up for second against them. But, with some luck, who knows.

I'd hope they send him to Churchill - the horse at least deserves a shot. I wasn't sure what their game plan is at this point.

The hard thing to figure about Bernie is that he won at Turfway last year. Something just didn't work two weeks ago, but I'm like you guys that think he can get a piece of the Derby with the right setup.

Up in the air regarding Atomic Rain. He mentioned Preakness but that seems like wishful thinking. Though if you watch the replay, Atomic Rain ran a very nice race Saturday and never stopped running. He was just as trapped as I Want Revenge and even whacked the winner past the eighth pole trying to get out. Watching the Wood is a riot. You see something new with every viewing.

You kind of had to score the beyer according to the place horse, and give IWR a couple pts higher than whatever the place horse should have got... WSB = 101 ... It's debatable that they did [slide it up a few pts], but it certainly is not flagrant, if they did it's probably only 3 or 4 pts.
