Makes Cal Nation all the more interesting in the Jerome next Saturday

The Derby Fever hunt may not be over, as The Jerome and Coolmore Lexington are both shaping up as interesting races, if not necessarily acting as a Derby prep.

The Jerome has , maybe, Rattlesnake Bridge, and possibly Astrology, along with Cal Nation. The Lexington has Prime Cut, Casino Host and Jaycito

These are all developing young horses - without a lot of established form.

You can say that Cal Nation was "flattered" because the horse who narrowly beat him ran very well yesterday - however, the horse who was 3rd in that race was badly outrun next time out.

I do put emphasis on that kind of stuff in certain situations - but not as much in regard to just one other performance from a lightly raced 3yo.

Thanks for the response, seems a good lesson, seriously
