It'll be interesting if Dominus ever gets a chance on turf. Not only is he by Smart Strike, but his female family is inundated with nothing but turf black type, Honey Ryder being the most notable name.

Let's just hope he makes it to August. Horses who suddenly appear in those Public Storage silks seem to have a way of getting to the breeding shed in a hurry.

I was wondering about that. I coulda sworn that horse had Stonestreet silks when he won at Santa Anita.

Yeah, he and Indian Winter both showed up with different silks. Dominus wore Bolton's silks at SA, I think, and Stonestreet in his debut at Belmont. I guess Spendthrift bought into him since his last start but it wasn't listed in the DRF.

The stretch run of last night's Derby Trial reminded me of a Quarter Horse race.......

In what way?

Horses looked to be spread out down the stretch -
Machen's powerful kick down the lane - and
the night racing at Churchill Downs (which I'm not quite used to yet)

I thought for a second I was watching a Los Alamitos race
