[quote=Sightseek;922532]My video was going out, but I wasn't so impressed with Verrazano there.[/QUOT


Why? I think the jury is still. Looked to me like Vyjack wanted no part of 9f. And Normandy ran at him off a super slow pace.

He's either a free runner at a high pace all the way around or a dud.

They better plain on being on the lead in 1:11@6f and go from there

he looks to be a grinder at a high speed, no quick move

but if I could get 5-1 on Orb.....................ah

Who will JV choose to ride? If he chooses Verrazano does Rosario pick up Orb, then who gets Vyjack. I JV chooses Orb would Castellano get Verrazano over Revolutionary and Normandy invasion? Some interesting decisions to be made.

Vyjack wins the Jackson Bend Award for Heart.

Considering the pace and the hype, Verrazano should have won by much more if he was the horse he is supposed to be.

I wouldn't even bet him to win at the Derby at your imaginary OTB.

You should take him at my OTB!!!
I agree about both V's and think Normandy ran well.

I hope they put Jose Lezcano back on Normandy Invasion if Javier goes elsewhere.

Yes, his trip in the Risen Star was bad, but it was a prep for a prep and a comeback race.

I trust Lezcano as much as anyone on a horse with Normandy Invasion's style.

I'm leaning this way. Still a few more big preps and the derby pace won't be a crawl. He will have to run hard early or do something he's never done.
