It's a good thing they stopped on him before the lucrative 3YO races last Summer in order to focus on his 4YO campaign.

“After the Derby, he just needed some time to regroup, and we decided if we were going to focus on a 4-year-old campaign, we needed to give him a meaningful break,” Pletcher said. “And if we are possibly looking to target a race like the Donn this winter, we needed to get a race under his belt now to see where he is. So here we are.”

Baffert should send Game on Dude to the Donn, he looks no worse for the wear after his public workout this past weekend.

Not a true blue Grade 1 horse in the field

At first glance, doesn't this set up for Bourbon Courage (or perhaps Pool Play)? They would be idiots to let Ultimate Eagle lope along on an easy lead.
