The much maligned 3yo male division...

[The Indomitable DrugS]

As magic as Dutrow is with first time in his barn types ... this one is coming from Larry Jones/Cindy Jones ... it won't be easy to move him up from that outfit.

Watch Super Saver go and win the BCC.

Of course, if Zenyatta is there....

That's no joke. If they are both in the race at CD....and both have their usual jocks....I'd actually be a little shocked if Zenyatta did manage to finish ahead of Super Saver.

LOL this is 2 comedy. SS sucks. I dont even think he is a Churchill horse as much as he is a slop horse, but even with the slop he is still not fast he just got lucky. I said it before, he will never win again. I said this after the Preakness and nothing yesterday makes me think any different. Going 10f at Churchill with a decent pace, Zenyatta is almost a lock to finish 1-2-3.

Your Zenyatta, L@L, Quality Road trifecta isn't going to pay much in the Classic, but thanks for saving me the time on handicapping.

That triple is LOCK CITY.

Two of them are highly unlikely to make it.

Right now I'd say the five most likely winners of the BCC are, in no particular order:

QR, Z, LAL, SS and someone yet to be determined.

I've been pretty vocal about my dislike of SS as a good horse, but he does seem to like CD, and none of those other three have done anything of note at CD.

Oh, I almost forgot to apologize to CSC for mentioning the Z word here.

No way, not with Blame and SS out of it, maybe even Rachel and Rail Trip out.

You may have misunderstood. I never said I thought Super Saver was going to win the BCC. I just said he would finish in front of Zenyatta. I think he is a pretty unlikely winner.

The biggest question for me about the 3yos this year is whether Looking at Lucky would have won the TC if they hadn't changed the way they do the draw for the Derby.
With a different post in the Derby, he might have waltzed to a pretty easy TC given the lack of top-quality in the division and the absolute trash that was waiting to face him in the Belmont.

I don't know if LAL would have won the Derby in the slop regardless of where he drew, but he is clearly the best 3yo out there now.

I was thinking the same thing, but he didnt win the Derby.
