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.

The Aqueduct variant was split for the two nine furlong races. All the sprints, before and after, were consistent. The raw times are 12 points apart, yet the figures are only 8 points apart. Personally, I think the older horses were "boosted" four points since the pace was ridiculously slow. However, the argument could be made the Wood is four points too low instead.

That's spectacular news for I Want Revenge fans, as another 105+ speed fig was unnecessary for him, would attract more interest from the casual Derby bettors who may only understand the simplicity of speed figures, thus bring down his value.
In horse racing, as in everything it seems, the public's interest and adoration is short lived. There are still a few (weak) preps that might produce a high Beyer or a touching, feel-good type of horse(y) story that might deflect money elsewhere With the quarter crack to Quality Road, IWR might be fine value if Quality Road is in the gate and sucking money. ( I agree with another poster on the QR quarter crack thread that betting horses having even minor injury bumps this close to the Derby results in a poor ROI)`

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.
