Friday Mucho returns at Gulfstream and Roadster at Santa Anita. Both in allowance races. Good to see some of these horses coming back.
It will be interesting to see what Mucho can do. He might be pretty good.

I want Code of Honor to be good as well. I always root for Shug.

Default Sunland Daydream.

Looks like plenty of speed signed on in this one. The break will be important. The 2 faves have looked good. I’m hoping Joe Rockhead is correct on Mucho Gusto being distance limited. Anothertwistafate might put them all to sleep, but could also get the dream trip and take them when he’s ready on the turn. He is so visually impressive I will let him be the focus and get a couple to close in behind to fill out the minors.

I guess it's hard for other outlets to acknowledge the origin of information. First reported by DRF team on site and written up by Steve Anderson: https://www.drf.com/news/derby-prosp...dylar-fracture

Makes sense. Thanks Steve. I thought they might try the Lexington even though it’s fewer points since that field should be smaller and less talented than the Arkansas Derby but obviously they know better than I do.

Watching some replays, Dressman would be intriguing in the Wood. Watch his trip at Oaklawn on Rebel day.
