Looked huge but the all the horses ran in same order from start to finish. No one closed a single bit on that fast pace.

It was the three best horses, in fact its been formful.

Lots of stalkers coming up in the san carlos.

I bet Big Macker so hope everyone is right about this so called bias.

needed more bias.

Slow fractions, dumb jockeys let that horse go.

Slow fractions? Are you talking about Game on Dude?

What bias?

Agree. No huge bias. Race 1 and 7 were won from well of the pace.

Race one winner was never farther than 3.5 lengths back while contesting a 21.68, 44.38 pace. Race 7 was a freak show and possibly the best ride by a jockey this year. They certainly made the track fast as they always do for Game On Dude. Home Cooking just like they tried to get away with Breeders Cup until Owners and Trainers pitched a fit after the first day. One good thing that came out of it is California Chrome will be grossly over bet on Derby day. Also I was just looking at the selections thread. Nice Score there Rock.

I'd be careful about dismissing California Chrome. Yesterday was his 3rd straight big effort.

Fair enough, and Thanks!

I was being sarcastic. There was an inside speed bias. Mike Smith even commented on it after the 7th race. Yes, Sahara Sky did win from off the pace but that just made his win more impressive then it was. Likewise with WTC in the Big Cap.

The fact that the San Felipe and the Big Cap was won wire to wire at a wickedly fast pace and not a single horse closed off that is insane. If you looked at the rest of the horses at the back of the field in both races, they looked like they were the ones going :22.5 and 1:09 in a route race.
