Charlatan out of Belmont and derby. A few weeks ago Baffert had three big shots now he has none. Things can change fast.

With his turn move (reminiscent of his sire Street Sense), Maxfield would be a force around one turn perhaps even in an extended sprint--never mind 9 furlongs.

Of course, with 3 weeks in-between the Belmont and Blue Grass, he's not really bypassing the former in favor of the latter; his connections are simply choosing not to run in a Triple Crown race.

FYI, this is exactly the opposite of the truth. A one turn route at Belmont is FAR more likely to feature a fast pace that will benefit closers than a two turn race where the pace slows as the field hits a turn relatively quickly.

Imagine if you had just gotten him those concert tickets all of this could’ve been avoided.

Geez...a decades worth of moronic posts because of concert tickets. Incredible

A reckless and rash decision I will have to live with the rest of my life. Then again, there is the enjoyment of watching him pretend it never happened here.

He really used to be a very nice guy.

As usual, you miss the point.

It makes sense why getting called stupid bothered you so much the other day. Not the first time you’ve been called it, huh?

Had to do with Zenyatta, not concert tickets. Now it has to do with you screaming for security in front of the jocks room in front of my wife because apparently you were scared. You didn't like being called out about your lie about 300 dead shows . 150 maybe , 300 never. You couldn't make a list with half that and you know it. Things like work and school and the track might have curtailed being on tour that much. I'm not the first one to get the " security" treatment. I seem to remember Paul Cornman getting it at gulfstream . Cool to see you on your best behavior on fox as that condescending **** wouldn't fly on national tv

On the other hand, I didn’t pay attention but someone I know said Maxfield walked after the race last time out. Maybe he needs the extra few weeks after a big race off a long layoff.

I think their goal is strictly the Derby. They can pick the races they feel best to get the horse peaking at that time. I wish he was running in Belmont but understand the goals they have.

They also might not be in a hurry to face Tap it to Win after he traumatized their other 3 year year old mystic Guide last Wednesday .

They are playing the game that the Kentucky Derby is the only race that matters. Of course, if he does win the Derby he will almost assuredly retire at year's end after 1 or 2 more starts. When you think about what racing would be like if every participant in the sport campaigned their top horses in this way, you realize that it doesn't take a pandemic to create spectator-less racing...

Meanwhile, to your other point, Maxfield has not breezed back since his Matt Winn comeback, which is going on 17 days now. He breezed back from each of his two baby races within 2 weeks. He had to have surgery after only those 2 starts. Maybe the real story is that his quest towards the Kentucky Derby is less assured than we realize.

Tap it to Win was beaten over 40 lengths when Maxfield won the Breeder's Futurity.

He was too busy defending Zenyatta's honor to have noticed that.
