First Dude is training extremely well.

I'll take Dark Cove at a price in the Hollywood Gold Cup.

I haven't looked at the Gold Cup PP's yet - but look who finished 6th in Dark Cove's last race. Yikes.

$25,000 claimer @ PID

I don't think the horse I bet has finished yet, so this isn't sour grapes. But I have to think Setsuko might have been a little closer at the finish if Espinoza rode the race like there were other horses other than Twirling Candy in there. He should have been where First Dude was.

Yep - and he ran 4th as the 4th choice in the betting - in that 25K claimer at PID today.

He will be tough when they drop him in for 10K.

I wonder why they've sat on him since the Alysheba. There's been quite a few spots for him since then.

He has a lot of improving to do considering he's the only horse in there from the Big Cap that didn't finish in front of Twirling Candy.

The lack of pace makes me think Baffert might call an audible and send this horse to the lead again to set it up for Game On Dude.

No....just a belt and a tire iron.

[Dahoss]

I preferred the tire iron.
