baffert is pretty 'emotional' as he put it. he thought he had the race won. i wonder if he goes back for a second chance, tries to beat the first horse to beat him...or does he go back to where POTN wins? and i'm NOT saying he can't win the preakness. but i am saying, that horse is sure thing on syns.

I think were looking at a non-Derby starter winning the "Black Eyed Susans" this year.

I think his horse looked like a worn out rag doll coming down the stretch.He said before"why go anywhere when I can make a million dollars in Cal".He should take his horse back there and stay there.

Yeah, Zayat will skip the Preakness with Pioneer of the Nile. That will happen.

If you believe that you also believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

Should of, would of I know, it's tempting to speculate. I don't see why she shouldn't try males at one point in her career. It certainly didn't hurt Zarkava last year, though being a filly her upside in the breeding shed wouldn't be enhanced as much as a colt would. From a sporting perspective it would be a dream to have her take the torch from Curlin.
