Also don't like the fact that he seems to be 4-5 wide into the stretch each time -that tells me that he (either by trainer instruction or jockey reaction) does not take dirt in the face and needs to be outside thus has to cover more ground.

Not for me.

In the big race I fell the paddock , or the warmup should tell the story. I think that if Nyquist stares that grey hoss down and puts the fear of God into him, than the grey hoss will be off the board.
If the grey hoss looks back and says bring it big boy , they could have at it all the way around and both have little left for the Derby, and maybe nothing left at the 1/16 pole and we get boxcars .
I'm pretty sure they'll know who the other guy is really fast when they see him.

I like Majesto here.

Agree

I like Nyquist...like a lot. Going big on the nose and that's it.

[Alabama Stakes]

I agree. Should roll

Nice call those who liked Majesto. Exacta was healthy.
