I still think Bobby's Kitten is the most talented 3-year-old in America.

I dont even think hes the best 3yr turf horse. But to each his own, lots of money to be made for good grass horses...

Did anyone else chuckle when Centeno looked back at the field going into the final turn? I thought Ring Weekend had a chance, but as a closer. Was shocked he went to the front. Think it was necessitated by the rail post?

It wasn't necessitated by the post at all. Nobody wanted to go and Centeno seized the opportunity. Instead of wrangling the horse back, he chose not to fight him and let him roll. The grab fest behind him won the race.

There is going to have to be some major improvement for any horse to come out of that race and do much of anything the rest of the year. Ugly group.

Sharp post! Welcome back!

It looked like there were a lot of front-running types on paper going into the race, and I didn't see Ring Weekend as one of them. But yeah... No one in that field has me all that scared... but Ring Weekend is still eligible for improvement. I hope Motion runs him one more time before the Derby

Glad to see you post, Bigs!

Hope all is well -- and I'm sure you've won about 3-4 fantasy leagues since you last posted!

Privman tweeted today that Motion says 8 weeks is too long to train up to the Derby and will most likely will run in Calder Derby or Bluegrass (also said if it were 6 weeks, like Animal Kingdom he would've trained up to the Derby).

I am a little interested to hear which 3-year-old turfers are better. He destroyed Global View.
