VJ, I don't think any prediction can be discounted at this point. The 3 year old season has been interesting so far (to say the least). I really don't go where to go right now myself.

I did like Endorsement's performance in the Sunland Derby. One thing that bothers me is the huge improvement over his last race. He may have peaked at the wrong time. Just my novice opinion on him.

BTW, love the avatar. She's a cutie!

I'd be interested in hearing why folks don't like Endorsement. From what we know of Conveyance, and what we thought we knew of Tempted to Tapit, that wasn't all that bad a performance yesterday. The pedigree goofs have to be all over this one as well. Plus, in a year devoid of anything resemabling a fast race, he's run one of the fastest.

Um, try because he was coming out of rather ordinary and non-descript races, and he received the perfect trip of perfect trips and on top of that, Conveyance folded up like a cheap suit in the stretch and Tempted to Tapit was never really much to begin with and the Louisiana Derby was further proof of that. Endorsement is more likely to finish last than finish first. At least I have 2/3rds of my last place trifecta set with Endorsement and Dean's Kitten.

Sure, I get all of that, but who is that much better? How many prep races have ended up with triple digit Beyers so far this year? Two? Aside from the top couple, the rest of the crop is just mush.

I don't see it as a big surprise.
He'd only ever run on dirt?
