SPIRAL -- EQUIBASE FEATURE RACE PP'S

[cakes44]

Literally every horse in there could finish in the top 2.

[Calzone Lord]

Another week, another upset.

I think there have been 7 of these "50 point" Derby preps so far, and as many 100+/1 longshots have won as have post-time favorites.

Two years ago, virtually every prep race was won by a mid-range price or double digit longshot.

Form can be fickle with 3-year-olds this time of year, and that has only been greatly accelerated by the way so many horses are lightly raced and very much babied along.

doug, what are your thoughts on black onyx? he's certainly versatile, his win in the spiral is his third different surface victory. i like the breeding as well...
