This race is filled with intriguing firsters working very well.

I dont think the Shug ran that well. Of course he wants more distance, thats what everyone says for all Bernardinis. He just missed first out, why did 7f have to be to short? First out they ran slow, and Im thinking thats what he is, slow.

Then I take it you were not impressed with Heron Lake's race? If so, then that's fine, we'll disagree. It's not worth arguing about.

Heron Lake was a firster, who beat a horse who is supposed to be pretty good. I like him.

Ok, but Break up the Game finished maybe a length or so behind himI. Heron Lake got an 84 BSF, so I guess BUTG got an 81 or 82 - that's pretty decent for a 2nd start.

Anyway, speaking of Heron Lake, he worked a bullet at Palm Meadows today - 3 furlongs in 36, breezing. I can't see Nick pushing this colt to make the Derby, but he is one to watch. Arch Traveller, who finished 3rd in that race, runs tomorrow.
