I think that's a mistake. Why rush?

He fits off one race? Bernardini had a similar race, they took their time and won the Preakness and went on to have a huge year.

So did Big Brown. They didn't take their time and won the Kentucky Derby.

Yes, but a Kentucky Derby winning cripple who average people actually remember and he started his stud career standing for $65000(I know that's not a real #, but they are all relative).

You think Big Brown was managed wrong?

His closing odds to win the Belmont and sweep the triple crown were 1/5.

Should they have given him time after the Preakness and pointed for the Jim Dandy instead?

Bernardini's race was a MSW and he was soundly beat sprinting in his first start.

This horse won an alw.

You really think Bernardini's campaign would have turned out differently if he had gone Derby Prep/Derby start instead of Withers/Preakness start?

I sure don't.

Not exactly true.

Bernardini broke his maiden in his second start and then ran in the Withers for his second win. This horse already won two races.

I don't totally disagree with you about Tiz the One, though he's pretty good, it's just different than Bernardini.

I knew this would happen.
Added Fast Alex in one of my R2R stables today (earlier than I need to) and then see he's out of the LA Derby an hour later.

Typical.

According to the Santa Anita barn notes, Alphie's Bet has been sold for $1 million. The purchaser was not identified in the blurb. Supposed to remain in the care of Alexis Barba.

Anyone know who bought him?

Paul Pompa was very close to a deal earlier this week.

Story was broken on ATR last week during Hammerle segment. Heard it was "interesting" negotiation.

Nominations close Saturday for Wood Memorial

Nominations close on Saturday for the $750,000 Wood Memorial (G1) going 1 1/8 miles at Aqueduct on April 3, and Gotham S. (G3) winner AWESOME ACT (Awesome Again), Fountain of Youth S. (G2) winner ESKENDEREYA (Giant's Causeway) and the runners-up from both races form a talented core of Kentucky Derby (G1) hopefuls likely for the 86th running of New York's final major stepping stone to the Triple Crown.

SA Derby notes..

LOOKIN AT LUCKY MAY STAY HOME...

“It depends on how he’s training,” Baffert said on a sun-filled Saturday morning at Clockers’ Corner. “If he’s training really well here, it (running in the Santa Anita Derby) would give him an extra week for the (Kentucky) Derby. If he needed the extra week (since the Rebel), I’ll go to Arkansas. If he doesn’t need the extra week, I’ll stay here.”

OUTLAW PASSING SA DERBY

Going in the Lanes End instead..
