Personally, I had already written off 3 of those 4 horses, though I guess I can chisel it in stone now.

A couple new shooters in Rock Your World and Highly Motivated. Personally, I wouldn't put them high up on the list especially with extra distance to deal with, but if they go to Churchill at least we can have more confidence in a contested early pace.

So you’re saying Greatest Honour fans will be around for another 4 weeks?

Medina Spirit suddenly becomes interesting at a price. Is he tailing off? Is he a cut below? Or will he be another Real Quiet, where everything falls into place on Derby Day (bolstered perhaps by his status as the "other Baffert")?

He is an interesting horse. I tend to think he is a cut below the top horses. But then I look at the top horses and I’m not really sold on any of them. Essential Quality is the most consistent but he certainly doesn’t tower over the competition. I need to watch the Santa Anita Derby again. At first glance, Rock Your World seemed pretty impressive.
