King's Village - if anyone has the resources to do a free search, i'd be interested to know if he's worked back since the race. He looked like a good animal, although he quit badly. Questionable ride given the jockey and the fact that you have a full minute from gate to the first&only turn in a Gulfstream dirt Mile. Who knows maybe Albertranni thought he needed an in-race workout and told Velazquez to push him hard on the pace for 4 furlongs? Seemed stinky given Pletcher's relationship to JV and the debut of Dunkirk.

A couple opinions about Dunkirk's debut - He was asked early to make progress, and wasn't far off the pace. There was an EARLY internal quarter somewhere (maybe furlongs 2,3 ?) where he was close to being the fastest horse. He went widest on the turn, and came home fast the last furlong.
I thought Alma D'oro was the bet in the allowance race, almost entirely because of the bias and the odds. Alma D'oro was "supposed" to go straight to the rail and run his maiden race back - leaving Dunkirk with nothing but 2nd at best. Dunkirk was IMO either slightly better or slightly worse as best I could tell. Prado gave a clown ride and Alma D'oro was exposed as a weak horse, Dunkirk finished strong again and appeared even more fit...

unless you're trying to say that final time is utterly meaningless... which is also pretty laughable.
It certainly is in socal.
