I definately don't think he got lucky in the Derby....watch the replay of The Wood....they can say what they want about the field limping home, but he was moving....I think he and steppenwolfer run 1 and 2....cajun...why Bob and John?

Both he and Jazil are bred almost identically. Both are by Seeking the Gold and both are out of Deputy Minister mares. Although their running style is different, I think they are both bred to go the distance.

Cajun,

I think we should do an ex box with B&J and Jazil. Put Bigdog's horse in for the tri.

i would not be surprised at all to see Jazil win this race,
both he and steppenwolfer should do well here.
they exhibited their ability to trot around for 9f earlier and seem to be able to trot for 12 seconds without end, whereas most start to slow by the 10th furlong. Jazil, imo, could win this,
he has the second on the surface in the wood, and Banjo has a win on the surface in the slop. granted his closing quarter in the wood was slow, but the track was garbage that day.

Thumbs up
The impression I got from the Wood was that B&J was a grinder and just kept running. I think he will do well on the long stretch. B&J, Jazil or Steppy EX? Maybe just box all thre e.

Not a bad idea actually...

I'm not sure if Landson has decided to enter "That's a Given" though. Where is all the hype coming for Deputy Glitters? His dosage profile sucks for the Belmont. Has he been working really well?

I hear ya, but I can't see B&J getting 12f, not with his pp's. Right now I think this will end up being a two horse race....but that opinion will probably change 10x between now and post time....anxious to see what kind of m/l they set for Jazil and Steppenwolfer.

I wonder why Baffert is entering Bob and John and NOT Point Determined...

High Finance should worry a bunch of people. Could run away with this race.

I think he can go 12F with no problem based on his last two performances. I am not a big dosage guy and I guess neither was Conquistador Cielo who had a DI of 6.14. and had no problem in the belmont winning by 14.5 lengths only 5 days after winning the Met Mile.

I'm talking more in the lines of dosage points and not so much the dosage index.
