Very interested to hear your take. Several observers gushing about Union Rags looking the part and going fast and willingly, but a few others concerned about front wraps.

UNION RAGS looked very sharp. Impossible to find any criticism of how he worked. The wraps are most likely just Matz taking every precaution against him running down.

Sounds like Baffert is going old school. Worked harder since his last race than those off 5 weeks. Didn't someone just say on Steve's show that the fittest horse usually wins the Derby and Baffert making sure Bode wins that prize. Sure not coddling him. Maybe that is how you beat the 2 year old jinx. Was tossing Bode on the bounce but now reconsidering.
