I don't want to jinx anything, but he could probably run backward and beat this group.

Lightning could strike War Pass, and he'd get up and still win

I am interested in how War Pass will run today. Obviously he was a brilliant 2 yr old this will be my first look at him as a 3 yr old, especially want to see if he has filled out as he has gotten a winter under him. Some horses do not make the jump so easily from 2 to 3 so from that standpoint I am very curious to see how he looks in the post parade.

This may already be buried in this thread or the selections, but I note the "changes" on the Gulfstream Park card today list "No Show Wagering" on the War Pass race.

FWIW

It's nice to be able to watch a horse like that work out on TV.

Why is it so hard to crack (or even get close to) 23 seconds for the QTR going a mile at GP? You'd think they were going 2 turns by the fractions that have been conistently posted this meet.

I'm no expert (obviously), and I know he ran against rats.. but just watching that horse move I had to ask myself "What other 3 year old is going to beat him?"

In a one-turn mile like this race I think it is pretty clear that there is no other 3yo that could beat him right now in a fairly run race.
What happens at 9f and beyond is still a question, but I wouldn't bet against him right now.
