We will see on Derby day, I have no problem admitting I am wrong. But make sure you look for the armored truck in front of Churchill when I am right, I will be sitting in the back counting the bags of loot....

Nothing like Derby prep time, where every horse who wins a race turns into the next Triple Crown winner...

that's true--happens every time a prep is run.

lol...its great though because that horse will be over bet now. how many horses win the derby in that fashion ? not many ! electrify actually ran a faster race , the fractions were almost the same and he came home faster and he was beating the likes of saint daimon and better than bonds. that track changed or something was up. those horses just are not that good. so go ahead bet him hard, call him the best until the first saturday in may. on sunday morning you'll be tearing them up with your hangover . ever since gulfstream changed the schedule, that race attracts very few good horses. i liked smooth air at least he won the grade 2 . he was the only one with a graded win at 18-1 , besides majestic warrior, who won the hopeful 7 months ago,the rest were your basic allowance rats.so go ahead call that a derby !lol

I'm seeing 3 yr old sprinters disguised as routers. I am not impressed with these 3 yr old horses at this point whatsoever insofar as running a distance of ground.

Scavs we need War Pass to bounce back. Seriously. If we can get some speed to go with him it could blow the Derby up.

I'm not saying he will or wont win the derby, but i have a hard time saying horse has no shot at winning a race in 5 weeks after what he just ran. Of course he could come out of the race with a injury, he could not like the churchill track in training etc. It's not like hes going to be 3-5 in the derby.. There are still several grade 1 races left and at least one horse will step out and have a great race. If you dont want to use him in the derby thats fine, but im not tossing horses 5 weeks out.

You know as well as I do that they aint going to let this horse loose on the lead. I don't think that horse has a chance either. I expect a Giacomo type payoff this year.

If War Pass shows anything in the Wood, he will go to the Derby, IMO

Exactly! Epic match up between two speed horses = BIG payoffs on everyone else.

NO NO Scav It would not matter if Affirmed beat Alydar again someone on this forum would say "Affirmed beat a bad field" I have never seen a forum where it does not matter who wins the race someone always says he beat a bad field I just think its very comical

I agree that it seems to come out, but I don't usually say things like that, and I overestimated how strong the field was. BB might be the only horse to go to the Derby from this race.....

If they send Smooth Jazz, it would be a disservice to the horse, because he ran out of gas going 9f, what will happen at 10f?

It jars the funny bone. To me he looked like Lost In the Fog going long. He surely scampered out of that gate incredibly fast and ran the field into submission just like LITF used to, but this time longer.
