In a shocker.......

I just noticed that Coast Guard replaced Gyrder with Joe Tala-blows ( everybodys super star last year) and Polonious dropped Jon Court for Victor Espinoza.

When Derby fever sets in you find out who your friends really are.

I see no reason Bob Black Jack cant wire this group. Nobody is in his league in the early speed dept and he knows no other way of running. This horse is a lot better than most give credit. I like his chances in here today and will stand against both favorites (Col John & Malo).

For the record...the trainer said they wanted Court to re-ride, but he was comitted on another horse and they had no choice but to seek someone else (Victor). Court's horse got hurt and he was available, but they were comitted to Victor.

Colonel John won this one powerfully like a Derby contender should ... Juxtapose this race's ending with the wobbling finale to the Wood ...
I am glad, however that War Pass erased the musings that he was War Emblem revisited, as he was pressed on the lead, and pressed at the end and showed heart .... I do not see him getting an extra furlong comfortably, but he earned respect from me and almost continued his winning ways ...
Colonel John as all the commentators mentioned, galloped out strongly after that finish ...

And Harty and Nakatani both said the poly to dirt angle does not apply. They are confident the switch is a non factor.

I heard that in the telecast ... And I felt their confidence---the fastest and most impressive Derby prep at the distance so far ...

I find it had to believe that Yankee Bravo was wobbling like a short horse going to the wire. You cant trust anything coming off the synthetic track at Santa Anita and going to the Kentucky Derby.
