He does have a nice race over the Monmouth oval, but he'll need to deal with that outside post.

All in all, I guess he'll be the fav in a very interesting Haskell....

It would be very shocking to me if he was the favorite.

Granted, Super Saver and LAL do not have the fan base of Mine That Bird perhaps. But they are still Triple Crown champions and people that don't look at the PPs will choose them immediately.

LAL opens at 3/5, the Derby winner 12-1.

Best Haskell field ever?

[Hoist Her Flag]

Those slow synthetic figures sure hurt lucky

[AeWingnut]

How in the world did Lookin at Lucky win
I thought flying over the Rockies was going to be his downfall

Ho hum. Garcia took him 3 wide in the first turn. 3 wide in the far turn and he won by daylight. Got a neg 2 in the Preakness. He got a fig equivalent or better in this IMO.

[10 pnt move up]

He is a slow synthetic horse who always beats a bunch of bad california horses

signed,

most of this board 5 months or so ago


He shat all over that field

When you pp you need to start looking at class and the NOW horse rarely (more like never) beats the dominate class and FASTER horse.
