The Wood

[Gin talking]

How many other trainers are now regreting not going in the wood? Super happy for Motion...

Was that really a Jose "the choke" Ferrer sighting in the Bay Shore?

The distance had nothing to do with it, JPH.

How do you know? Didn't have anything left in the tank after a mile, at least no turn of foot he has shown in the past. He could have been short but from the connection speak it sounded like they had him ready. He could be hurt. We should find out this week. The third option is he isn't going to get 10 furlongs.

I answered this in the Wood thread, but to summarize my already short post there, I thought he didn't get over the track well at all. Either due to dislike of the track, or soreness.

Both are ceartainly possible........I'm still not sold he can get 10 panels. Chances are we may not get a chance to find out

If he's sound, healthy, etc and in the gate for the Derby, he should still win, now just at a bigger price.

That is a big freaking IF though.
