Don't bet the race, is always one of my favorite alternatives.

Is D'Funnybone running in the Swale or the FL Derby?

Dutrow told Grening that if he knew Eskenderaya wasn't running that he would send D'Funnybone in the FL Derby.

If D'Funnybone goes to the FLA Derby ....

I have to think the connections of A Little Warm have to be very tempted to abort the LA Derby stretch out and go in the Swale instead.

Hard to pass up being heavily favored in a Grade 2 stakes race with a probable small field.

I can understand how people might want Nacho Friend back. But Leparoux moved much too soon on Awesome Act and still handled the perfect tripping Yawanna Twist relatively easily. Now, YT is clearly not much horse but for AA to win the way he did in a race that just screamed last move does say something.

I agree in general.

Nacho Friend obviously ran well, and clearly better than the second horse, but Awesome Act beat him by enough that it will be a hard gap to reasonably expect him to close. Plus, I find it hard to believe longer distances won't favor the winner...at least over Nacho Friend.

Nacho Friend strikes me as the kind of horse that will be running in too many races that he can't win.

I expect Conveyance to dust him out West.
