Its just so hard to put any confidence in any of the Juvy races because of the Lasix off rule. Its maddening.

Did it really have any impact last year other than Casse saying one of his horses bled and Baffert doing the same?

Its impossible for any of us to know if it 'really' made a difference or not, but we all have seen tons of horses move up first time lasix after not running on it (see KMC's numbers first lasix after horse has run without it).

For me personally, none of the Juv races get any action. Breeders Cup races are hard enough, don't need another wrinkle on a day with plenty of other opportunities

Tom..

Looking at the main track juveniles, who you'd expect to generally be more of a concern than the turf runners, last year saw Shanghai Bobby take the boys as the 3-2 favorite and top choices Beholder (4-1)-Executiveprivlege (3-2) run 1-2.. so 'form' certainly held.

I agree with Steve. Bobby's Kitten for me. Sure has looked super impressive.
