Ouch. 91 for the QEII.

Not surprised- that field sucked other than Gozzip Girl, who didn't run a lick.

89 in the Perryville is equally disappointing.

Didn't you just get "hitched?"

Sure did!

We did make it to Keeneland yesterday after getting back late Saturday night. As much as I dislike polytrack, as far as on track experience goes, only Saratoga is better to me. They continue to make improvements over there, this season it's Disney World-style shuttle buses.

You should see the race replay--his start was "Touch Gold in the Preakness" bad.

He's the 6 horse.

If you like to see a 2YO who can shrug off trouble, he's your man.

In all likelihood they are skipping Santa Anita, for the all too obvious reason.

But keep an eye out for him at GP.

Most likely Delta Jackpot 1st. Seems to be taking the Big Drama path.

I was thinking the same after Saturday's performance. Definately on my radar.

Real obscure looking pedigree - but his 2nd dam is the Iron New York Bred millionaire mare Lottsa Talc .

Agreed. The pedigree is weak. However, the races have been impressive enough. It would not surprise me to see him purchased out of here.

I agree. Stumbling at the start, being hung out wide on the first turn, and still running a 100 as a 2yo trying two turns for the first time sure impressed me.
The pedigree is obviously not strong, but the fact that he is already "proven" around two turns - along with the fact that the dam's only other foal is a two-time stakes winner at a mile and a mile-70 - might alleviate some of the concerns of a potential buyer hoping to purchase him as a TC-trail horse. I expect they'll get some nice offers......(depending on what his ML-odds were for that race).
