None of that means that playing against him in this race is the wrong move, but his return certainly has me intrigued.
I did not like him at all going into the Derby.... I loved QR till he got hurt. IWR was a hype horse IMO that I was not falling for and trying to beat based on him running 2 giant races vs horrible competition. I thought the FL races were stronger, and POTN would improve on dirt, just like IWR did.
Derby day I based all my bets around Pioneer of the Nile and Dunkirk....
I guess Im crazy to like the horse who ran second.

Brutal, brutal experience for I Want Revenge. Terrible action and Talamo was beating the **** out of him? Why Joe, was this race he absolutely had to win?

Rightly So was especially disgusting for me, live in the Grand Slam for $50.
