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

I tossed Ring Weekend immediately after Slip By and Grand Strand ran 5th and 6th in the 7th at Gulfstream yesterday. Nothing out of Ring Weekends maiden race has run well. Like Bigs said, the grab fest behind him is what won it.

I may be in the minority but I really like Ring Weekend going forward. I jumped on after his maiden win since it is so difficult to win at GP going 4 wide on the first turn. Don't love Tapit going 10F but I think there is enough bottom side pedigree to get the 10F, and I really like that he showed a new dimension in TB because adaptability is key for the Kentucky Derby.
