It was a spectacular performance. The break wasn't that good so take that into account.

When asked...the horse shot like a cannon.

With those fractions and trip on that biased track, there was absolutely no way the horse was going to lose. I hope he goes in the Travers so I can bet against him with both fists.

I dont think they point to the Travers. Its either Kings Bishop or PA Derby. I would run in the Kings Bishop. He would be 4-5 for another G1.

Baffert said no to shortening up for the King's Bishop after the Haskell.

Baffert said yesterday he doesn't want to turn him back now. On ATR later. Likely 11:30a.

I understand that the pace was slow but the two horses that were going to be pressuring him attempted to do so early in the race.

Bayern is a good horse. Slow fractions or no. It's not like this crop is spectacular.

I disagree, I thought the rides on Wildcat Red and Social Inclusion were ridiculously passive. He's a good horse, but today's performance will make everyone overrate him immensely.

I don't think Baffert will run him in the Travers. Pennsylvania Derby against Chrome.

Makes sense. Parx is another track that rewards the front end.

Social Inclusion was very fractious prerace, and broke thru the gate,stumbled and bumped at the break, Wildcat Heir stumbled at the start.

I agree with this, that trip was great for a lot of reasons, will definitely bet against him down the road if he is bet like Untapable was.

This horse has matured very well over the last few months..he has late on the trail was green through the preps and derby trial...preakness didn't show anything and then blinkers come on and this horse puts it together. You gotta admit like it or not this is a much more fit and professional bayern than we saw this spring...his last 2 performances are some of the most dominating performances we have seen from a 3 year old male
