Without looking at the race or knowing the horses involved, check out the conditions of the race.

It's nice that Bill Spawr had to claim a horse for 16k to use as a rabbit for his Eclipse Award winning sprinter. If he had that big a problem with the track, he could have shipped.

Amazing how those Baffert's outrun their odds. Which is even more reason why Liason is not a Derby horse.

Nice win by I'll Have Another.

C.C. is a talented pu c. Should make a big internal move, and, if he stops, so what? Ain't gunna win a stretch fight. So, turn it into a bank robbery.
