Default Saturday, Hollywood Race 2

#7 The Admiral
Big time horse, with GIANT Kentucky Derby aspirations.
He would be 6th on my 2014 Derby list right now. Behind the top 3 from the Remsen and the 2 Bafferts from the Juvy.

He may not fare well in this race. Giant's Causeway progeny are not the best horses to play in six furlong sprints.

Maybe he does have a future like you say though.

I think he ran really well. The winner is going to be a great sprinter. The Admiral was a pro making a run on the inside then tipping out. He looked like a winner at the top of the stretch and hung a bit, but thats OK first time out. Also speed was golden all day. No one came from more then 2 lengths off the pace to win, except for the last race. Im really excited to see The Admiral going a flat mile on the dirt at Santa Anita.
