![]() Vyjack fans should be rather pleased if they haven't seen the video of his work Friday with Head Heart Hoof. Not only is the drill sharp, Vyjack finishes with a tremendous double gallop out.. YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PibDchGwWiU

![]() How does Govenor Charlie get a bigger Beyer than the obviously more impressive and totally geared down Midnight Lucky? This might be the real problem with the new "Point" System. Does the filly get points only for the Oaks? She might be favored at this point against most of the male contenders. Does she go the route of Rachel Alexandra and dominate the Oaks then win the Preakness and Belmont? That would be a rip off!

Bejarano seemed to ask her a bit early in the stretch and then she was geared down. She's very, very good. But would you really want to bet her 6 weeks from now in a 20 horse field going 10 furlongs? |

The only thing that I will say is that generally, that CD surface, plays alot like the Sunland track was on Oaks and Derby Day. Not necessarily speed favoring, but razor tight. |
