Yeah, I wold love to see them run him longer so I can bet against him.

lol you have a point, Kaleem Shah and Baffert have received gifts this weekend with loose lead horses

It was a spectacular performance. The break wasn't that good so take that into account.

When asked...the horse shot like a cannon.

ateamstupid · #24 07-27-2014, 05:16 PM

With those fractions and trip on that biased track, there was absolutely no way the horse was going to lose. I hope he goes in the Travers so I can bet against him with both fists.

Pants II · #25 07-27-2014, 05:19 PM

I understand that the pace was slow but the two horses that were going to be pressuring him attempted to do so early in the race.

Bayern is a good horse. Slow fractions or no. It's not like this crop is spectacular.

I disagree, I thought the rides on Wildcat Red and Social Inclusion were ridiculously passive. He's a good horse, but today's performance will make everyone overrate him immensely.

This horse has matured very well over the last few months..he has late on the trail was green through the preps and derby trial...preakness didn't show anything and then blinkers come on and this horse puts it together. You gotta admit like it or not this is a much more fit and professional bayern than we saw this spring...his last 2 performances are some of the most dominating performances we have seen from a 3 year old male

I don't think Baffert will run him in the Travers. Pennsylvania Derby against Chrome.

Horse has won on the east and on the west...different distances..has shown more the most of the paper champions of this division

I dont think they point to the Travers. Its either Kings Bishop or PA Derby. I would run in the Kings Bishop. He would be 4-5 for another G1.

Makes sense. Parx is another track that rewards the front end.

Baffert said no to shortening up for the King's Bishop after the Haskell.

I thought it was very impressive and visually it was better the Wicked Strong race. Maybe he can't go a mile and a quarter, but you don't know until you try.

Strongest group of socal three year olds since.....thinking Tiznow and General Challenge, think that was the same year.

Congaree and Point Given was the same year as well. But there are three really good ones this year.

Different years for tiznow and general challenge.

Socal three year olds were mostly irrelevant during the heyday of synthetic

Baffert said yesterday he doesn't want to turn him back now. On ATR later. Likely 11:30a.

He travels very little since the health crisis in Dubai.

7 of the last 21 Haskell's for Baffert. Pretty FN remarkable. Shah seems like an incredibly humble and likely gentleman. It's easy to root for that man.

Social Inclusion was very fractious prerace, and broke thru the gate,stumbled and bumped at the break, Wildcat Heir stumbled at the start.
