Bayern last year was rushed into the Arkansas Derby, was a short horse and lugged out pretty bad in the Derby Trial. So badly he was taken down.
By Belmont Day in the Woody Stephens they had him right but he later bounced to the moon in the Travers. We know what happened in the Breeders Cup. So there are a lot of things that can go on between now and Derby Day. Baffert doesn\'t train and race as aggressive as he used and has pulled a few out at the last Derby minute....see General Charlie and Hoppertunity! Maybe this is where Dortmund is heading. We will see!!
