War Pass Looks a little Washy to me.

Before people jump down your back, I am assuming you are speaking about Court Vision

[Cajungator26]

I still think Court Vision is the type who will suck up for 3rd or 4th in the Derby. *Shrugs*

[ArlJim78]

they looked like they were in quicksand coming home.
didn't look at the time or fractions but it wasn't visually impressive.
it looked like nobody wanted to win.

Court Vision has zero excuse - dream setup.

The final time was over one full second slower than the race prior - which was won by a horse who had made a career total of 22 starts and had never run a triple digit Beyer figure before.

nearly all the of the 3 year olds colts stink in general

That's why I made sure I was in the paddock today just to get a glimpse of him, right?

I don't hate the horse at all, I just got annoyed at the comparisons to Slew, and the worship of him on this board. I said he was a very nice horse that wouldn't get ten furlongs, and he certainly hasn't made me regret saying that.

I take it he's running in the Lexington or Holy Bull?? Considering he stands at 36th on the graded earnings list with 70,000, he'll need to make some more money before Derby day.

I admit I never thought much of Tale of Ekati before, or atleast considered him as one of the top 3 yr olds in the division. For him to win this race, IMHO this race cannot be rated highly if you were to compare all the derby preps when they are all accounted for. He got an absolute perrrr_fect trip today, the race was presented to him on a platter and give his rider all the credit, he landed squarely on it. I don't see this being an overly impressive performance by any means!

How do you feel about the 3 year old fillies ?

They look excellent. Their division looks deeper, and a couple of them can probably run just as good as the colts this year. I think Proud Spell or Eight Belles would have an outside shot in the Derby. Country Star probably needed her race and should be back with something better next time. Indian Blessing will be an exciting sprinter/miler.
