lookin at lucky

For what it's worth Hoosier does not run at nights on weekends and this race will be run in the afternoon as far as I know.

Someone in the racing office at Hoosier has won Bob Baffert over as this will now be the 2nd consecutive year he sent a horse to the Ind Derby.

LOL. Maybe it's a blinkers thing.

I guess I give LAL a pass for not stepping up vs olders since he has suffered some minor health issues, but the overriding theme of 2010 continues to the graded stakes horses finding the softest spots. Stakes racing in the US this year resembles a starter allowance series.

this has been going on for years, with horses dodging each other for most of the season, if not all of it. it's why last years rachel campaign got so much buzz. it seems the only race this year where some of the best faced off was blame vs quality road.
but hey, if zenyatta gets a pass for racing nobodies all year, i guess lookin at lucky can do the same. baffert knows all he has to do is get to the bc in one piece and the 3 yo eclipse is his.

The 3yo Eclipse is his regardless.

I feel that Afleet Express has a shot to the title if he wins his next race and if that next race is the JCGC

I see what you are saying(travers + JCGC > Preakness + Haskell), but I think you'd then be discounting anything LAL did even before the TC races. That and LAL would have to fall over to lose the Indiana Derby, which won't add much to his resume, but it does add something.
