Dominus won pretty easily. I wasn't overly impressed with him but with this crop, you don't have to be much to be at the top. He's got to be in the upper tier.

The Dwyer was a merry-go-round. Where did Adios Charlie's frontrunning speed go?

Regardless, I hope they try a route one more time in a big race like the Haskell or Jim Dandy. One more loss and he should be a pretty square price in the King's Bishop.

Just from watching both races, the difference in performance seems accurately reflected in the figures. I thought Dominus' race was pretty ordinary for a winning performance and in line with what we've seen from the division all year but Flat Out completely dominated.

Is Flat Out that 3yo from a couple of years ago that was coming up at Oaklawn?

If so, I had wondered what became of that horse. He was a horse I thought had a decent chance to win the Derby that year. Considering that crop and all the injuries in it, that is.

Yeah, I just saw his PPs. Ran evenly in the Arkansas Derby (off a late running 4th to Old Fashioned in the Southwest) before disappearing for a year and a half. Crushed a Fair Grounds allowance comeback in December, then disappeared for another 5 months, returning with a second in the Lone Star Handicap. He was beaten less than 3 lengths in the Stephen Foster.
