I was expecting way more out of DrugS than a two sentence tout. Very disappointing.

While I don't understand the point to these early endorsements, DrugS has a good record in this department if I remember correctly. In the past, lightly regarded horses like Giacomo and Invisible Ink have received the coveted blessing from the indomitable one, and have gone on to seriously outrun their odds.

i like Bob Black Jack to finish itm. He's only got 6 reines on his bottom line. and he gets the lowest gsv in the field with 48.85. incredible.

he has substantial stamina support from his family and most numbers do not factor that. and we know he has the speed.

he's from the immediate family of Swain, a turf star. so the question is how will BBJ translate to the dirt. he surely is a maturing, improving runner over the poly.

DrugS surely scored on his 8th place bet on Any Given Saturday last May.

I could care less that Any Given Saturday didn't run so well.

He was 13.6/1 in the Derby - the 3rd biggest price of the Pletcher runners. Amazingly Scat Daddy was 7/1 and Circular Quay 11/1

It's not like AGS was a bum. Amazingly, Any Given Saturday (7/2) was a shorter price than Curlin (4/1) in the Breeders Cup Classic..and I sure didn't like AGS than.

I've considered, but I always think there's just too much speed in this race to give the frontrunners much of a chance.
