Baffert just said he's staying in Cali for a while.

Zensational ran a pretty good race but he didn't beat much there.

He was impressive, I don't think we have seen the bottom of him yet. SM is a horse with issues but that has been his problem for the majority of his career, wonder what the prognosis for him after today? Another double line through his past performances...

I want no part of him from the rail although you are geting a price if you like Street Magician.

Yep you were correct, I always thought he had talent and he looked good at PID. Couple that with an incorrect read and not being excited about anyone else in the race, I was left with very few choices playing this race.
