Hawthorne's rail was pavement today, watch the race that Master Commander was in. He was hopeless around the turn, smoked, and all of a sudden he comes flying up the rail again.

Congrats to ET Baird in looks like what be a Derby mount for him, and Lara and Louie Roussel....

Thought one of the days biggest surprises was the disappointing efforts of both On the Virg and Texas Wildcatter. Can write off Atoned's situation because of the ridiculous Hawthorne surface, but I really expected forward moves for Virg and Wildcatter in equally manageable spots.

The absense of Pletcher from last year's premier late season 2yo races told the story, but I was willing to believe he had a few solid late developers that would come around. Lean year overall and particularly for TAP...

I think another sign was he lost horses from an owner he had alot of success with, Eugene Melnyk. Coincidence?

Just as with his hockey team The Senators if you do not win he is not shy making changes.
