Favorite for the Cash Call Futurity. If he wins, Reddam will be giving the trophy to himself.

I don't know if I'd call his trip brutal. He sat a perfect trip for most of the race. He did have the trouble where he had to wait and checked, but honestly, he was on the best part of the track for most of the race and had every chance to go by and didn't.

Without knowing who is in the Cash Call I'm not going to say he's a bet against. But I will be interested in playing against him if Capo Bastone or Power Broker show up in there.

the way he waits for other horses may be more of a concern.

but when the other horses come to him he shows a lot of heart.

just keep someone like julian le-pew off his back and he will be fine.

go rosie!

I think that was nonsense about him waiting on other horses. Has he ever waited on horses before? He normally wins by open lengths. He wasn't waiting on horses in the BC. He was very tired, which he should have been after going :45 2/5. He dug down deep at the end when he saw the other horse but that doesn't mean he wasn't tired. He stopped because he was dead tired, which he should have been.

As Doug said, if there was a half-way decent closer in the race Shanghai would have gotten beat. He came to a dead walk that final 1/8th of a mile. I'm not saying he ran a bad race. Any horse would be leg weary after setting those kinds of fractions.

If he runs a similar race in the Derby, he won't have much chance of winning. He's going to have to change his running style to win the Derby. He's obviously a good horse. He might be able to change his running style. The odds are against it but it is certainly possible.

I was alive to Power Broker on a $5 Pick 3 , he didnt give me much at all. Chalk it up to the Sans Lasix crapshoot that we will have to endure more of next year.

He had a trip too. Off slow, carried super wide into the first turn, premature move, while on worst part of the track.

He's better than that.
