3/15 (3yo): TB Derby; Rebel; Felipe; WinStar

He's far from my boy...or a horse I will be betting.

He opened a big lead and went wire-to-wire going 5.5 furlongs in his maiden win.

His only chance of hitting the board at 8.5 furlongs is if he makes the lead - so while he wants and needs the lead .... War Pass would be best served in the long term if he is rated off the lead once and shows what he can do against a soft group.

For horses like War Pass - that's what prep races like this are for. They aren't for getting into pace duels with sharp and cheap longshot sprinters.

Because War Pass drew a post position inside of Make Me Zach - this might all prove to be a moot point.

You could be right.

I meant Zach last had a 1st or 2nd call lead 7 races ago, last July in the slop.

At least it adds something interesting to the race.
