I thought he looked a little 'ribby' too. I always root for him as a fan, but you're supposed to be against him from a wagering standpoint tomorrow.

great return for dan, just off the course record.
optimizer second, good showing for him as well.

I wouldn't call it a great return. He was 3-5. He was all out to beat a 30-1 shot. He sat a perfect trip off of a lighting fast pace. I think his last 2 races have been clear regressions over what he usually runs. He did get the job done today and he was coming off a set back, maybe he will run much better next time out. We will see.

I disagree with this entire post, but just a "set back"?

Sighty that was an absolute great performance by Wise Dan ...he is a lot like John Henry..he just figures out how to win...he's like Mr Wizzard ...Ror !!!!

I was a huge Lawyer Ron fan (he was my Derby horse, make fun of me, it's okay)- it's nice to see his son win the same race his daddy did. Because I'm a nerd, I googled and Itsmyluckyday makes for the third father-son winners of the Woodward.

I would!

A great return is not necessarily the same thing as a great race.

This was a great return and this horse.. man, he just epitomizes the sport.

Yeah, I wouldn't call emergency colic surgery a setback either.

He raced in May. He missed 6 weeks of training, if that?
His race in May was a clear regression, that was before the colic.
