Commissioner = Ice Box?

U hate to sound bitter prep after prep but another day of \"major preps\" where all the horses look like shit.  At least as far as derby chances.  Dance of fate ran well.  But is a synthetic horse and the owners claim they won\'t run in the derby.

Bayern gets put away on the front by a 1000 to 1 shit before showing a tiny bit of heart to run 3rd to a winner with horrific form.  Tapiture completely empty.  Ran disgusting.

Commissioner ran as he always runs. (Good gallop out again so fans can bet him back again)

The runner up is a bit interesting to me.  Clearly runs well from off it as opposed to setting the pace.  

Ugly ugly. Ugly.

Not much to disagree with here, and the winner did get a rail trip.  But:

The time stacks up real well against WTC, and got the last 1/8th faster.  Say what you will about the ugly stretch run there, but we\'re still talking about the best dirt horse in the country.

Winner\'s 2nd off a long layoff - lost to some pretty good ones in the return.  Gotta think Pletcher had high hopes shipping to run a Grade 1.
