He'll win again.
The 1 seemed to flourish with the tough, tough pace. Not sure if he could've gotten a better set up, he stunk today no ifs, ands, or buts.

sure he can win again, but its going to take a drop in class, and that says something looking at the WV Derby field, a perfect trip, and maybe even some rain.

Horses who need perfect trips to win are average horses, we have lots of those in grade 3's, which is about this horses level.

One trainer down there told me Big Drama passed out after the race - and was on the ground for a long while - but he did not die.

He was put in an impossible to win race and had to move early today. The horse will win again.

Giving 11 pounds to a quality horse that was lone speed. It turned out that Big Drama was a giant gutless pig but at the time Smith moved he didn't know that.

if mine that bird gets the right set up for his one dimensional running style, he could win again. it wouldn't surprise me if he won again, or if he didn't.
