I think American Act wanted nothing to do with sprinting and has a big look Saturday. I was a little disappointed in his effort the other day considering he got such an easy lead, but he galloped out real well (as did CC). I think he might go off at double digits and has good a chance as any. Glad to hear Carava changed his mind. CC, Liason, and Groovin Solo would be my inclusions on a spread Pick 4.

I think he'll stretch out, but in this particular race, it seems likely he'll be hounded by both Bodemeister (who hounded him going 5.5f in January) and Midnight Transfer who is stretching out and has been showing good early speed in several fast paced sprints.

It could be another meltdown similar to last year, when Comma To The Top, Albergatti, and Runflatout went nuts on the front end.

Thumbs up Bodemeister dominates

Bodemeister dominates,wins in hand and goes on to win the Santa Anita Derby by 5 lengths in record time,then goes to the Kentucky Derby as the .3rd choice and wins by 8 in 1:59 .4,then goes on to triple crown fame win he wins the crown with two dominating wins at the Preakness and Belmont,the first since Affirmed another west coast based colt

Affirmed began and ended his career in NY. He did winter in CA at 3 and 4, though.

Hard race. I can only toss Tiz Point.....It's a Jockey's race. I wouldn't take Creative Cause. On his good days, he's awesome..... On his other days, he's a punk. He won't fight.

I kinda agree with this, except for Creative Cause being awesome.... Hes solid, feels like slow and likes to plod. A Giants Causeway that will defeat me.
