Does the less than stellar performance by El Padrino today make Mark Valeski more of a question mark? Or, was the Florida Derby simply that strong?

[Alabama Stakes]

Telephone numbers expected as a Dallas Stewart rapido special comes rolling home at 73-1.

FWIW - John Velazquez was rather bullish on Windsurfer going forward. He said he was totally immature the entire race and even said he wished they had a few more races in him and could try the Derby. Obviously he's not going, but he really emphasized how he thought Windsurfer would be a nice horse later on this year.

There's definitely a N1X out there with his name on it.

Indeed. Although I will admit his maiden race impressed me... but so do a lot of Pletcher horses at GP.

Also, Steve Margolis said they would look for a race at Churchill in 5-6 weeks or so, and he also mentioned a race like the Dwyer as something to shoot for.

I'm sure he'll be brought along slowly after this. Probably get through his conditions before trying Stakes again next year.

Or not.

Maybe he gets a year off like Brethren.
