Exactly what I was thinking, and Rags PP's aren't dissimilar to Lookin at Lucky at a similar point in his career.

My question is why was Trinnieberg even entered in the race if he wasn't going to gun and get the lead. The only chance he had (remote) is if he gunned it opened a huge lead and the other jocks fell asleep like they did in the Woodford. Seems like a huge waste of a race for him.

his moron owner said these last couple weeks that they were 'teaching the colt to rate'. now, i don't know if they just managed to slow him down enough so that he wouldn't have a say in the only part of the race he might possibly shine, or if he just wasn't fast enough to keep up with bodemeister.

I think the Trinniberg folks thought that if they went all Tim Ritchey-like and galloped the horse for a couple miles every morning that they could train stamina into him. In that respect, most of the 10f Trinniberg traveled on Saturday was probably great training for the horse.

t'bergs owner and trainer need to look at bodemeisters race. baffert knew better than to mess with the horse, that the derby is no time to play around or try something new or different. he let the horse keep with what the horse does best, and damn near won it all.
trinniberg? not even close. stupid, stupid, stupid.

Did Pletcher win a race all weekend there? It seemed as though every one of his charges came out flat - I'm still shocked and amazed how Broadway Alibi got caught in the Oaks, Bridgetown runs a non-effort in the TS turf sprint, Doubles Partner, though not getting the expected set up seemed dull in defeat, and of course Gem & Padrino not even lifting a hoof.... Rough weekend

I think he's more Dollar Bill than LAL. Still good enough to impact some, but he's not the best of this crop after likely being the best 2yo.
