![]() Well, turf for one thing.
I was mostly referring to race style. Like, you know, go to the lead, run without restraint, that sorta thing. |

However, given the dearth of speed in US turf racing, he could do very well in our turf races.

I've never thought all that much of him to begin with. I had low expectations of him today, and until the end of the race, I thought he was running pretty hard. As for his Derby prospects? It's a two horse race at this point, and he is not one of those two. |

He did beat Stay Thirsty. Funny, he was quite the internet darling going into the race, and now. shockingly, his supporters have completely evaporated.

I guess I'm trying to say that while everyone else is off the bandwagon, he just moved up a little in my modest estimation. It's all relative. |

Little Mike... ![]() With the way he was bet yesterday and, with his top form right now, I am shocked that Dale Romans didn't wait and run him in the Maker's Mark Mile at Keeneland. |

And if you had read the article, Romans wants to go in Woodford, therefore, the Makers Mark was never a thought. |

![]() I think after this weekend Shackleford will be on the outside looking in as far as the Kentucky Derby goes.

![]() I think he may be a little short on earnings once all is said and done, but there will be a handful of horses currently in the top 20 that will not go to the Derby, whether it's common sense, injuries or something else.

Don't get me wrong, he's a nice horse, but his run is over.

![]() That's a little unfair, as Tackleberry had an amazing meet, and Little Mike is OK as well. However, that course was kind to Little Mike, and yesterday's race was a complete farce. If Johnny doesn't pull that move into the first turn, or better yet, actually rides properly, the result would likely have been much different. He took out the other speed and let Little Mike loaf along, relatively speaking. What was that horse even doing in the race...especially given that absurd game plan?

You're referring to Commandeered, right? Gomez was on McLaughlin's horse that came from the back and just missed. Commandeered was a worthless entrant in that race because his turf win was a farce. I'm still hoping Matz puts Julio Pezua on Nicanor so he can get the lead, which he desperately needs to be a factor at all. If I had to choose which one is more likely to win a graded stake outside of Florida the rest of the year I'd go with Little Mike. |
