Very impressive in defeat. First dirt and put a move on the winner 3/16's out.Forced winner to go deep into the tank.Probably/maybe should have been second. taken up and altered late.
If he's yours do you continue on the trail or quite possibly turn him into a preeminent grass miler?
Thoughts?

Salutos Amigos getting 5 pounds in the Met?
TGJB,
Almost a who'd like it less distance. I'd be surprised to see SB in the Met.
Not so much SA.

Ajkreider,
Pardon the brevity of that statement. It wasn't meant to challenge you. I remember reading something along the lines where Pletcher was trying to keep his
colts apart as long as possible. With ITSA being put up he probably gained enough points and solidified his derby position. Re Upstart: from reading it seems they are going to the Wood. I haven't discounted him yet. T

Could always try the blinkers in the morning. Just never know . Incorrect lead late probably byproduct of being green.

Jerry,
I like the fact this guy IS green while running a 2.5 or something like that.
Obviously room for improvement vs trying to get back to a big top that may cause or already has caused issues. An entire month until the Gotham to see how FFO responds. Depending on how many points FFO will need in the upcoming races to gain entry for the Derby,i would try to orchestrate the same style

Not exactly sure what they meant, but I found it odd after 2 distorted humors and 2 street cry's she hadn't produced much. also 1 more than ready. Who knows, maybe this will be her big horse?

Wrongly,
After first considering a move to dirt for Bolo in the Robert B. Lewis Stakes this Saturday, Carla Gaines said Bolo was “unlikely to run,” with the trainer pondering whether she should leave well enough alone and keep him on turf for now.

Tavasco,
Had to aquaint myself with this years crop. Normally in the past i've been more engaged. I'm somewhat intrigued by Bolo. Haven't seen his TG #'s,but seems
to qualify as " fast enough at two" albeit grass races. He's been lighting it up
in the AM on dirt at SA. Plenty of stamina both s

Tavasco,
The breeding for the first three are suspect compared to Khozan. That really matters not now. Holding together while playing foundation catch-up is the issue.

"These guys are fierce competitors," Baffert said, alluding to Espinoza, Smith, and others in the jockey colony. "I see it happen to my horses when you have a good one. I didn't tell Victor to do that. He stayed away from my other horse, Fed Biz...Game On Dude, that's why I retired him, because he was starting to get mugged, every race. I didn't cry about it. I just

Q: According to its website, AFLAIR Equine Nasal Strips
were designed to support the soft tissues of the nasal
passages to help maintain the integrity of the airway
during exercise. By doing so, university research has
shown that FLAIR Strips reduce airway resistance,

Saez, through his agent Richard DePass, denied the allegation.
“It’s absurd for someone to make an accusation like that,” DePass said by phone from Florida. “We deny it one million percent. We’re going to get an attorney and pursue this vigorously.”

The vid is interesting. The statement by Depass i find interesting as well.

" I would point out that the owners (who I respect from working with them on the drug stuff with the JC) are among those pushing to ban it".
Don't get that even a little bit. Like efforting to control aggressive driving, yet wanting to remove airbags from cars. Not to mention it's in the face of

hoping GS ran in the 1 territory. re-check sire profile possible 5pts from 2-3.
trying to think forward here. most dead money will see GS as a fluke and possibly get double digits for a live horse. If he does earn a 1 for the Derby
i can't see not betting him back. Lightly raced with a two year old foundation
and imo sitting on a very possible pair with a slight possible slight new top.
