The 6 ran much better then I thought he could.... I still think Baffert and Lukas have 2 top top contenders for the Derby.

If I do say so myself, nice race riding by Nakatani...only to completely take your own horse out in the process. ******.

I want Ntamm to comment on this... He likes Dublin and liked the jock switch, I did to, but this was HORRIBLE.

Maybe Wayne can get Dominguez back for Dublin in the Arkansas Derby...he should be available after Super Saver's effort today...As bad as Thompson's ride was in the Southwest, this one might have been worse.

Lookin at Lucky ran pretty good but I would have liked to have seen the finish had Dublin been given the ride that Lookin at Lucky was given.

Just saw the race and yeah ,it was a pretty brutal ride. But look at the bright side Joseph. Next time he runs (guessing the Ark Derby) you would think he will be a better price than 7/5.

Kind of thing happens all the time when a top "minor" leaguer like Theriot (who did nothing wrong with Dublin) gets preplaces by a guy who is supposedly A team. This is why I was happy that Servis stuck with Elliott and Titchey with Rose during their TC campaigns.

Like when Ritchey replaced Rose with Johnny V for the Rebel?

Nakatani's ride wasn't pretty, but I see worse rides all the time. If Dublin was that good, he could have overcome it.

I don't know about that. He was like 3-4 wide the enitre way around until he got to the stretch. Throw in the premature move on the backstretch and it makes Dublin a very unlikely winner no matter how good he actually is.

Lost in all of this talk is the Honeybee win by No Such Word, which was pretty nice, albeit with a good trip. She is a horse who has actually gotten better going two turns and is worthy of consideration down the road considering how seemingly average the 3YO fillies are.

Lost too is that Beautician was stymied at the top of the stretch and lost all momentum. If she smoothly finds a seam off the turn, she gets first run and Larry's... I mean Cindy's.. filly has to catch her instead of the other way around. I was actually pleased with the result because No Such Word certainly boosted the P4 payoff considerably.

Beautician and Noble's Promise ran much better than I thought. I was certain they had McPeeked.
