Thanks; I thought he had cracked a 100 BSF in the LA Derby but apparently not.
He did not look good down the lane in the Travers.
This was Baffert's KY Derby horse ever so briefly after he fried 2 or 3 horses (Charlatan and the other horse that officially won his AR Derby division the same day he crossed the wire first) and doubts were raised about Authentic's stamina after he had lost the SA Derby.
Wonder what could have been if he took it slow with Uncle Chuck a la Arrogate.
Eh...it probably would have been the same result, just a different Grade 3 win and a different Grade 1 flop before a failed comeback at 4.
