It's a great race, my thinking is this: Baffert worked Conveyance at Oaklawn on Feb. 17 and appeared to look for his usual fast, blistering work-Conveyance was 2nd best of 25 horses at the distance, Dublin was the fastest. This is Lucas' only real hope, and I accept the physical excuses for Dublin's last two performances, and feel he's primed, big time!

Baffert ran big, Lukas sucked up, the rest stink.

I thought the Baffert would move up on dirt. Only you like Indian charlie's on turf.

I really loved the ride Conveyance got.
The guy wasn't going to dick around and rate him like Pino did when he rode Hard Spun to a 4th place finish behind Teuflesberg while breaking from post #9 and rating in the Southwest. The jock sent him away and rode him like he was in a friggen quarter horse race. I was convinced he was much better than those and that he'd improve on dirt .. so I was happy with the aggressive ride - but damn, that Lukas horse I thought was toast almost nailed him.

Was just looking at the chart and got the feeling his effort was lost in translation. He chased and chased wide the entire race. After establishing his position, he may not have gained anything on the winner, but he didn't lose anything either. A sneaky OK effort.

I still like Dublin for the Arkansas Derby. I think the Coach knows what he's doing with that horse and with the Rebel next things could be a lot different.
