Wow, no. I just watched the replay, the headon especially he did get bounced. Still better then Dublins though, the premature move was A KILLER.

Lucky almost got knocked down, how was that a great trip. Was that Nakatani that did that to him?

The race may have been a little harder than Baffert wanted considering the trip. Nice call by Baffert with the move to dirt. I wonder where he goes next: SA Derby, Bluegrass, Wood, or Arkansas Derby?

Theroit would be fine IMO. He did good at Toga and did well in some big spots on Blame. Ramon would fit, hes patient and thats what Dublin needs, 1 late explosive run.

Hoping Dominguez will take the call on him again after Super Saver's dud today...Dominguez would fit him like a glove now that Dublin is over the throat surgery. Plus, Ramon looks to save ground as good as anyone, which apparently Thompson and Nakatani didn't realize can help. Dublin was easily 2nd best in the Rebel. Noble's Promise got the absolute perfect trip of perfect trips and still couldn't get it done. McPeek needs to keep him at a mile, as he's distance challenged. Anything more than a Mile and Noble's Promise is going to be stretching his limits.

Super Saver only lost by a half length after a long layoff -- not what I would call a dud. Plus the horse won a Grade 2 race at Churchill by 5 lengths.

He's run at least 4 very good races against proven runners at 1 1/16, though I agree he's bred for 7f. Since many feel that LAL ran the "race of the weekend" to just beat him, I'd say he was very good in defeat. NP just keeps running good race after good race.
As for Ramon, I'd love to see him on Dublin. CNak's ride was dreadful.

i'd stay right here in arkansas. it's been good to baffert, and the horse certainly seemed to handle it well here.
