Then your B+ field just got run over by a D- horse. That was the point. The races - the Derby and all its preps - are staged every year. Not all their winners are equal. Some are better than others. And the 2022 crop of 3 years olds is - at best - ordinary. And that's probably coming down on the more charitable side.

I used to work in racing for 20 years, and left it long ago completely. Eric Reed trained in the Midwest, and I was working as a grunt in the PR department of River Downs when one of his fillies won a small 2YO stake. I had to interview him for the weekly TV show. He's not an easy interview. He can be condescending. Racing offices in the Midwest have had to deal with a lot of nagging demands

Not sure I buy that. Baffert and Smith go back a long time. McKinzie didn't lose because of a ride by Smith. He's ridden a lot more poorly than that. I think JB might be spot on about Baffert and the BC in general: his horses won't necessarily fire. And Smith knows it.

I only bought the PP's for Saturday. But after listening to the seminar, I went back and something struck as more than odd about...McKinzie. Here is a horse - on paper at least - who looks just plain better than the rest. Having a great year. So I wondered when I saw this: McKinzie has had one rider for the last 2 years. Mike Smith. For the Classic? Mckinzie gets...Rosario. WTF?
Mike Smit
