Most people don't know this - but I consider myself the best authority when it comes to evaluating trips in horse races run in the 30's. OK, we have the Triple Crown winner Gallant Fox! We have the migty Whichone who was the last horse to ever beat Gallant Fox. And we have the hopeless Jim Dandy - 100/1 in a four horse field. He was 1-for-20 this year.....his only win came in this race - the Travers. As an FYI, Jim Dandy finished last over 60 times in his pitiful 7-for-143 career. But as you can see - Gallant Fox and Whichone hook up in a duel.  It sets up for Jim Dandy!!! By the way Hossy, all the figure makers of the 30's had that crop running much slower than than they really were. I know because I went back and made figures for every race run at every track that decade.

You have a lightly raced horse - only 3 career starts - never had dirt kicked in his face before.  Look at the tough spot he was in at this point in the race. His stablemate Zanjero actually comes off the rail - puts him in tight between another horse with a wall of horses (including many quitters in front of him) and worst f all opens up the rail - leaving all but Liquidity left between Street Sense and an unmolested dream rail run.

In one of the worst Fernando Jara rides ever - he moves Invasor prematurely - and is hooked up with the previous years Travers winner for five furlongs before disposing of him. As you can see...intense looks being exchanged....  After all of that - Sun King had every reason to mop him up - he didn't. In my opinion, Sun King and his fans are bums.

On further thought, War Pass is more in the mold of a Songandaprayer. If he goes to the derby it'll be a thrill for his fans for a 1/2 or 3/4. I do believe War Pass would be a fav in the Kings Bishop but LaPenta seems bound and determined to make the derby. As Linny confided to us in another thread, Zito became deflated when he saw the stretch run in the Wood.
