Some twitter chatter said BODEMEISTER was 'terrible' but I don't get it at all. Started 4.5-5 back of Fantasy show filly JEMIMA'S PEARL, got to her between eighth and sixteenth poles and finished evenly or a head up. Galloped out very nicely well into turn when Baffert radio'd Garcia to shut him down as he didn't want him doing too much. The horse ran the best race of the prep season 11 days ago, so I don't know why anyone was looking for the "Barbaro" drill. As I explained yesterday, he's not much to look at and the West Coast people all have said that he won't impress anyone the way he drags himself around in the morning. Guess it's going to be the focal point of discussion..
I'm predisposed to liking MAMMA KIMBO and she looked solid/unspectacular in her solo drill, but Baffert said she came back from it tired and he thinks the Fantasy took a little out of her. Like her barnmates who went before her, she also went all the way around from 4.5 marker to the backstretch. She may be best pointing for the filly sprint slate this summer.. DULLAHAN had a very good gallop and wanted the rider to let him do something the second time down the stretch. Some mutterings that he lost some weight out of the Blue Grass but he's shown increasing energy each of these three mornings I've seen him gallop. He has the thoroughly distinct high knee action of a turfer but that hasn't hurt a number of grass runners at this track in this particular race going back to Barbaro.. PROSPECTIVE galloped and Welsch thought he showed more energy today than yesterday and Sunday. I didn't really watch him today.. It's actually more quiet than in any of the years since coming for 2 weeks. But it should pick up now..
