Now We Know....

....where all the good 3YOs were. They weren't really racing. Between Harlem Rocker, Casino Drive, Unbridled's Heart and Biker Boy we actually have a chance to have some nice 3YO races this summer. Every one of them seems better than every 3YO we saw on the TC trail save, perhaps, Big Brown.

Once again, Tom Albertrani did Darley/Godolphin a favor by somehow managing to keep Unbridled's Heart from going to Dubai over the winter. I wonder if they'll ever figure out that maybe they should stay over here.

Wonder who else he did a favor at 13:1?

Not me. I don't know him.....but I guess after today I wish I did.

I'm sure a few more that didn't really like synthetics will turn up as well.

El Gato Malo was dreadful out West and I see he won today.

He wasn't visually all that impressive, but he was always going to be better on dirt. Maybe the clock will tell a different story. Without question we'll miss out on seeing some good horses, but since we won't know it, I guess it doesn't matter.

Unbridled's Heart really was impressive today, can't wait to see that one's next outing.

He supposedly looked terrible in training recently compared to the winter, which may explain skipping the Preakness, adding blinkers, and the head cocked all the way to the right through the final sixteenth today.

Next Sunday, highly touted CA 2yos (with slow numbers), Dixie Chatter and Wind's Legacy return in the 7f Laz Barrera at Hollywood. Both have been smoking in recent workouts. Should be an interesting matchup with the steady if slow Salute The Sarge in there as a gauge to see if the two comebackers have improved any.

Tom Albertrani put over another Unbridled Song FTS 13 months . Look back in your charts April 14, 2007 race 8 at Gulfstream Park.

I was not smart enough to look up that tidbit before today's 5th race at Belmont.

I hope for their sake Unbridled's Heart doesn't end up racing at Phili Park like Pemaquid Light.

He won at Philly nearly one year after breaking his maiden.
I would hope that the million dollar horse does not step foot on Philly Park dirt unless it's in the Pennsylvania Derby and even then it might not be a good thing since he wouldn't run in the Travers.

The purse he won last month for a non winners of two was 46K. Slots pay$ off for horsemen.

He raced almost exclusively at Phili after his maiden win.

Most of Rick Porter horses run at Philly and Delaware.

True.

Sherrifs has a nice three year old as well out west that could be decent this summer.
