I note that Baffert is going blinkers off with Lookin at Lucky. What to make of that decision?

Good question. Gary Stevens also said on HRTV last night that his workout was terrible for what it's worth. He said the horse looked exhausted afterwards and didn't finish up well.

Calling a champion a plug sort of sums up your game.

If that would be 'champeen' in terms of getting favorable trips, guilt as charged.

Last time out, when things didn't exactly go his way, the great Setsuko blew by him in the stretch.

A lot has to go right for this horse to win the Derby. And, his quota of lifetime good trips is probably already exhausted.

Whats wrong with Setsuko? I think he is going to be a pretty nice horse.

At least he has a game.

Not to be too sarcastic, but this comment is from a guy that lasted 6 months as a 'trainer'. Not sure what to make of that.

Oh, absolutely. I usually would disregard his remarks or just about anyone's on workouts, especially with horses they see very rarely in the mornings.

I'm guessing he wants the horse to relax better and make one big grinding run instead of the way he ran his last race.
