Wouldn't be surprised if they get special permission to remove the blinkers for the next one.

All the signs suggests he simply wants to sit back and make one run. Hopefully, they don't foul him up trying to make him into something he isn't. He'd be a nice complement to the speedier Drill and Secret Circle in the West Coast preps.

After the race, Baffert said he lacks the usual brilliance typical in IC offspring. I'm going to guess with that statement and performance, he will lay further back.

Then again, he may have lost in this instance with that dawdling pace.

If he had any of the talent that he hints at, he wouldn't have. That was a terrible field. Rousing Sermon settled in the back and would have won by open lengths if the Baffert horse wasn't in there.
