Fine work as always.

Speaking of Pletcher…interesting his two best horses right now are former Baffert’s and he only has them because of what happened in the Derby.

He also had the Hollywood Gold Cup winner Country Grammer from Baffert but that one only recorded a couple of works in NY before going on the shelf. Not sure if he's coming back.

I doubt we will see much more of Life is Good unless they take a shot in the Pegasus World Cup (which I suppose could parlay into a Saudi Cup start, too, if he does well). But hey, he already beat Ginobilli and Restrainedvengence so not much more for him to do and he was the early favorite for the Kentucky Derby (which apparently is just as good as actually winning the Derby in the eyes of the stallion promoters).

The Kentucky breeding charlatans are really going to have to make a tough decision regarding Mandaloun. Will they keep him in training long enough for him to be declared the Kentucky Derby winner thus ensuring they can proclaim it on the retirement press release? He might have to race until he's a 7yo...

Life is Good is currently being pointed to the Pegasus. Knicks Go is also pretending to point there but I highly doubt he goes if Life is Good does.
