Only Lukas would consider Saratoga Red a Preakness horse off his stellar sixth place non-effort in an optional claimer on Derby day. Amazing.

He should have looked at the Alydar, then the Affirmed and Swaps before getting back on grass for the Del Mar meet.

You'd think the performances of Midnight Interlude and Comma To The Top would have scared him off.

If they really want to be part of the big time, they could have sent him to Kentucky when he was on the bubble for the Derby and used the American Turf as an alternate spot, kinda like Setsuko last year.

No shame in running second to Banned.

He is a turf horse, I hope they just stay at HP.

Poor DWL, he's reduced to grasping at straws, once he ruled US racing but now...a shell of what he once was.

7F is about as far as any Lukas horse wants to run in any big race these days. Problem is, that 7F is usually quite a ways short of the finish line in all these graded route races he keeps entering them in.

Saratoga Red was training lights out up until that race. I had him and Fusa Code on my P4/DBL and P3... My first of many heartbreaks on Derby day.

Ken McPeek has come forth with intentions to enter Casper's Touch in the Preakness.

I think the fast-paced, dirt race question is a great one, but my real question is how will a horse who's run but five races since September fare running two races in two weeks and potentially three in five? His sire himself never started more than six times in a year, never ran on less than three weeks rest, and had a layoff of at least five months in each of his seasons of racing.

Please tell Steve Haskin not to propagate this "tight turn" myth. Mucho Macho Man is a graded stakes winner at Fair Grounds, which is a much tighter-turned track than Pimlico.
