Getting high props from his Conditioner. Considering f the guy has had 2 Derby Winners. Much higher than one could possibly imagine!! Time will tell.

Can\'t wait to bet against him this weekend - given his reputation, he is slow. From that post at that weight at that price, this looks like a great spot to beat him.

You may very well may be right. Pletcher is always tough at Tampa. Has won the Derby or Sam F or both for like the last 4 years running.

But 2nd guessing a low key under the radar trainer who unleashed two 24-1 runnerup bombs last week on Holy Bull Day could be big mistake. Loaded barn will be progressively making a Spring impact. No doubt they are looking down the road at bigger and better things....

His pattern suggests a move forward here, but I confess I was surprised to see how he stacks up against the rest of the field.  A must bet against at 2-1, especially given the running style.

Was 80% today. When a low-key guy says it might be the best horse he has ever laid his hands. You divide by 2 for hope and multiply by 4 since he has NO concept of hype....

Hoping that was a 1 to 2 and not a zero!

Was wondering about the fig myself.  Track record time, the high-weight, and 4w on the turn.  Looks to stack up pretty well against the filly race.  4 horses within 3 1/2 lengths doesn\'t scream track record though.

McCraken didn\'t really lose much ground.  He was inside through the first turn and only tipped out late in the second turn.  Trakus only has him travelling 9 feet farther than State of Honor.

Wild Shot was the wide-trip horse in the race, but I often wonder whether ground-loaded figs from Tampa are a little more suspect than those from elsewhere.

I liked No Dozing.  Hard to find an excuse.  I wonder whether Union Rags is going to get precocious 2yos.

Join the club.   An American Tragedy, on multiple levels . . . despite the all-out \"I WILL save ground on the final turn, by God!\" ride.

A rare poor decision by Ortiz. But that was a sweet exacta price.

Tapwrit may be a serious horse going forward. Then again it\'s Pletcher in Tampa in February.

Good Luck,
