Wonder who else he did a favor at 13:1?

Not me. I don't know him.....but I guess after today I wish I did.

I'm sure a few more that didn't really like synthetics will turn up as well.

El Gato Malo was dreadful out West and I see he won today.

He wasn't visually all that impressive, but he was always going to be better on dirt. Maybe the clock will tell a different story. Without question we'll miss out on seeing some good horses, but since we won't know it, I guess it doesn't matter.

He supposedly looked terrible in training recently compared to the winter, which may explain skipping the Preakness, adding blinkers, and the head cocked all the way to the right through the final sixteenth today.

Next Sunday, highly touted CA 2yos (with slow numbers), Dixie Chatter and Wind's Legacy return in the 7f Laz Barrera at Hollywood. Both have been smoking in recent workouts. Should be an interesting matchup with the steady if slow Salute The Sarge in there as a gauge to see if the two comebackers have improved any.
