Based on that race -- a 1:50 flat for 9 furlongs on this track would be about a 108 Beyer type race.

Curtis Paynter --- regarded by many in the Baffert camp to be as good as Bodemeister only a few weeks ago --- draws off to a big win in 1:42.98 for 8.5 furlongs.

This is going to be a fun day today -- two races and probably one variant split already. The track remains to look fair ... and the overall speed of it appears a lot closer to par than it did an hour ago. Would like to know how much work was done to it between the second and fourth.

Dixie will be shown on NBC's alternate video stream - no audio.

Wow. Thought Bodemeister was home free at the top of the stretch. It looked like a huge margin back to third.

No excuses there. Track, as Baffert said about 13 times, was playing a little slower than usual today, but Bodemeister got to run his race and still couldn't hold off I'll Have Another.

It was around 10 lengths back to Creative Cause, who ran pretty much the same race he always runs.
