If things play out just right, the assclowns at CD might really be doing a great job of screwing themselves into a lackluster Derby.

Many of the top prospects are now to the point of having to have no excuse last races before the Derby.

Shared Belief has no points. Not that I think he's even aimed there anymore.

Top Billing is way behind.

Honor Code is going to have to run 1-2 in the Wood most likely.

Havana? Bayern? Hell, even the Lukas horse still has to earn points, though he's probably going to run 2-3 times until then.

The Wood is not going to be a walkover for HC.

It's been an exhilarating triple crown series to this point. So many memorable Derby preps.

The best of it being the two legendary confrontations between fellow NY Breds Samraat and Uncle Sigh. Two races that will long live in racing lore.

Unfair to devalue Uncle Sigh, Samraat and now Cal Chrome because they dont have well recognized pages. Those 3 are good horses and consider Uncle Sigh's trainer is the opposite of good. How would Uncle Sigh be in the hands of a real 3 year old classic conditioner.

Anyone look at the pp's for this race yet?
I love Honor Code, Im a huge fan....
But he could get beat in here, the 1 is very fast. And there is no other pace, at all.

With Top Billing out, I think Shug said Honor Code could replace him in the Florida Derby.

Shug might be indifferent to the result... paid workout?

yes it is a paid work out, he will run good good but will not win, he will then run in the Florida Derby, get hurt and be retired, he has done enough.
