While I don't think this field was particular strong, what this shows is how strong the 3 year old races were down at the Fairgrounds. Friggin Notional just HAD to get hurt, this would have only strengthen his case.

I thought for sure he would be pointed towards the Grade 1 on Derby day, he is pointing towards all Grade 1's this year, hope he comes to the Million also

I thought Slew's Tizzy was a piece of junk. He broke his maiden at Turfway on a wet day when the track was playing faster than usual. They throw him in over his head for two stakes and he ends up here... I thought he had no chance. Actually looked like a bigger animal with these today.

How many times does a bomb come in with blinkers-off and a strong workout?

Starbase is a Tale of the Cat so he is bred for this track although the early speed was a big turnoff.

Speed was either carrying or nobody good was closing and the horses who weren't held back early had the best trips...

Slews Tizzy ran a nicely paced race that would have given him a chance to win on dirt as well. His fractions were solid but he was able to keep gas in the tank for the stretch when he "dusted" em.

I likie likie Slew's Tizzy!

I had the winner, but the tri I picked fell through. Oh well.

Honestly, I don't know if they should run him in the derby. But he does look like a big sturdy horse, but am unsure of only two weeks off.
