I thought you were trying to dig out, betting this horse isn't going to help that, even if he has been sitting in the hyperbaric for the last 60 days.

haha, yeah that is why Maker wins his races...the oxygen chamber.
It must have been broke down this winter...He is ONLY 20% for the year.
Big drop off from the last couple of years.

Are you saying it isn't a huge part of his program? Lets be clear I am not slamming him, I know he is your boy and I am not about to get into another thread war

a % is a %. You can make it what it is. For example. Doug O'Neil's % is all combined, all those comedy Beulah and CharlesTown wins count towards his %.

No...It is not a huge part of his program at all.

I don't get why Odysseus ran here instead of the Arkansas Derby; all this race proved is that he doesn't handle polytrack - he got nothing out of this race.

A number of us have been questioning this for the last couple weeks. When you need 3rd place and above earnings to run a horse coming off a dirt stakes win in the Kentucky Derby, should you experiment with running him first time on synthetic against proven synthetic and turf horses.

The $10K suitcase of cash was bet on Paddy O'Prado at 7-2 (down significantly from the morning line of 10-1).

Aitkenite looks appealing at 6-1 (with Gomez picking up the mount). Also, I do like Pleasant Prince at 6-1.
