At least they got 9 other horses to show up for the Wood.

FTFY

Graded stakes are not bad and we couldn't expect anyone to belly up and face uncle mo. Best thing that could happen is the jock falls off at the start, lands on his feet and Uncle Mo continues his work and wins by 30 setting a new track record and continues to gallop out and finishes 12 furlongs in 2:23. And my 100 show bet on Stormin Norman pays a cool 2 grand.

I would have liked to have seen what Buffum could do with a decent trip. I'm not sure he would have won, but he was shut off for most of the race and then when he switched outside, he didn't have much room. I'm not sure he would have won, but I think he would have been closer

Waiting to see how Kensei runs off that wide trip to Misrembered. Cutback to one turn should help...

Kensei blows. Morning Line is going to be tough to beat at one turn this year.

And thats what you get when you put your horse in paid workouts and dont battle test them. You take their heart away

Ugh, thought Arthur's Tale had it - kind of hung, though of course he went about 6 wide. Uncle Mo did not look good at all - he was staggering.

Arthur's Tale has got $200,000 now in graded earnings, and we've had some fall out of the Derby recently so it might be enough. Randy said the cut off was $180,000 currently. Another Bernardini.

Haskin's done well today with horses he's liked in the past finding the winner's circle. Toby's Corner and Joe Vann. My Illinois Derby feed kept buffering so I'll have to catch the replay to see how Joe Vann looked.
