Just like this thread and other articles I have read since last Sat, folks seem to always discount the west coast preps. Just spit balling here, but in the last 10 years, how many derby winners have come out of Santa Anita?
I would like to see Royal Mo cut back at some point.

I dont see any lack of respect from west coast preps or horses in the 3yo scene, how many times do they ship, or even in the Derby, end up taking quite a bit of action?

Not really. The first 3 dirt races (all sprints) at Santa Anita had exacta finishes by maidens, 2 of which were first time starters. If the Echo Eddie was slow, it fit with the form, as Mr. Hinx was coming off a 4th in an allowance behind SA Derby stalwarts Battle of Midway and Reach The World.

Paradise Woods ran her 1 1/16th in 1:42+. She probably galloped out 9f in a faster time than the Santa Anita Derby.

I was too lazy to watch the replay and time it myself. She was so far in front of the rest of the horses I thought maybe the outrider just went ahead and caught her before she made it to the 7 1/2 pole.

Pretty good...
He came home in something like 36.1 on Saturday.
That number holds well with this years lot.
He's creeping closer to making this years starting gate.
Keith D. can certainly train em up.
