Note that surprisingly persistent thunderstorms have been through the area into the morning. Ending now (6a), but likely will have main track muddy to start the day.. Thursday a difficult afternoon at the races starting with Champion chaser Bob Le Beau strangely fracturing a hind pastern while running on the flat and Ring of Truth clipping heels and falling hard in the nightcap. Both were euthanized and are being appropriately appreciated. For Elizabeth Voss, the loss of Bob Le Beau made enjoying Portrade’s G1 win impossible and brought back the anguish of Makari’s fatal fall two years ago in the Cup. This is a game that’s frequently unfair and regularly unforgiving..

NY Derby winner Hit It Once More is obviously the horse to beat, but stablemate Jet Black is a hard-trying colt that may prove tough to catch here under front-end whiz Jose Ortiz.

Only runner involved that has covered 9f, has worked sharply towards this assignment and may float up from the 3-1 ML..
