it seemed the horses were all moving in slow mo much of the time. didn't need to hear the fractions to know smith was trying to lull them all early. but then late they all still seemed to be barely moving.
with iha being done, i don't think rags is now the top horse in the crop-i'd have to believe it's bodemeister, and many thought he was already.

Speaking of Bodemeister, any news as to whether he will stay out west this summer (Del Mar) or come back east and run at Saratoga?

He'll run 2nd somewhere. Mike will help the winner again. Wouldn't want to actually race ride. Idiots might scold him for puttiing a horse in the rail. Come on through, bruh.

Interviewed on one of the two racing channels the owner mentioned the Haskell.

I think Bafferts holding aces here. Paynter is going to be REALLY GOOD. This was asking a lot, very soon from him. I know the race came back slow, but it like I said it was a lot. The horse won at 5.5f in Feb to break his maiden. If I was asked right now I would say the top 3 horses right now in this crop are Bode, Paynter and Rags... In that order.

Union Rags benefited from an absolute prfect trip and a gift wrapped rail to get up. I was much more impressed with Paynter, Atigun and Trinniberg yesterday. I look forward betting against Union Rags next ime he runs.

What's Baffert do, he has 2 very good horses with identical running styles? I hope they both stay healthy and in training, makes me think that it could be a very interesting summer.

“He’ll go back home, freshen up, and we’ll look to bring him back somewhere on the East coast,” said Baffert. “Maybe the Jim Dandy [Grade 2, July 28] – we’re shooting for the Travers with him. We have [Derby and Preakness runner-up] Bodemeister for the Haskell.”

It'll be interesting to see how he manages these 2 as they both have similar styles.
