Default War Pass Looks a little Washy to me.

Is it just me or does he look a little of today? Maybe I'm wrong, Lord knows I'm that way alot here of late.

Blistering fractions...no way he can get the derby distance...very disappointed in the closing time after going 1:11...after DOC not showing up in the Illinois Derby...hoping for "the bad cat"..EL GATO MALO to run a monster race...

Can we finally put to rest all those fantasies about this horse going ten furlongs? Even worse was Court Vision.. The horse had the race HANDED to him and said "No thanks, I suck."

Court Vision is a pack mule. What a horrendous performance.

Before people jump down your back, I am assuming you are speaking about Court Vision

I still think Court Vision is the type who will suck up for 3rd or 4th in the Derby. *Shrugs*

they looked like they were in quicksand coming home.
didn't look at the time or fractions but it wasn't visually impressive.
it looked like nobody wanted to win.

Court Vision has zero excuse - dream setup.

The final time was over one full second slower than the race prior - which was won by a horse who had made a career total of 22 starts and had never run a triple digit Beyer figure before.

I admit I never thought much of Tale of Ekati before, or atleast considered him as one of the top 3 yr olds in the division. For him to win this race, IMHO this race cannot be rated highly if you were to compare all the derby preps when they are all accounted for. He got an absolute perrrr_fect trip today, the race was presented to him on a platter and give his rider all the credit, he landed squarely on it. I don't see this being an overly impressive performance by any means!

I don't ever recall being so underwhelmed by so many, so close to Derby.

If anybody wants to win a Kentucky Derby, just step right up. Please? Anybody?
