Sub came up a bit spotty.

The Suburban is a waste in this spot, time to move it to winter at the Big A or just eliminate it completely.

The Suburban is predictably awful, but the other two stakes are interesting.

Agreed....love the Dwyer.

Six horses in a handicap, all carry 115, are they all equally unaccomplished? Sad to see.

Friend Or Foe
Haynesfield
Rail Trip

What the hell are they waiting for?


At least Regal Ransom didn't enter. There's still hope he'll show up in a sprint somewhere down the line.

Thankfully the top females are skipping the Whitney. It's clearly a minefield out there in the handicap division.

At this point, I'd rather see Blind Luck vs. Havre De Grace vs. Awesome Maria than any single female tackling Apart and Giant Oak.

Besides, I need Sidney's Candy to romp in both the Whitney and Woodward so that he's odds-on in the BC Classic.

Ended up boxing Harlan, Malibu, and Tech. Curious to see NTamm's horse Dominus.

Dominus won pretty easily. I wasn't overly impressed with him but with this crop, you don't have to be much to be at the top. He's got to be in the upper tier.

The Dwyer was a merry-go-round. Where did Adios Charlie's frontrunning speed go?

Regardless, I hope they try a route one more time in a big race like the Haskell or Jim Dandy. One more loss and he should be a pretty square price in the King's Bishop.

Surprised to see Rajiv ride Icabad Crane for Graham today in the Suburban...Is he the regular rider?

Saturday Beyers:

Dominus 98
Flat Out 113

Just from watching both races, the difference in performance seems accurately reflected in the figures. I thought Dominus' race was pretty ordinary for a winning performance and in line with what we've seen from the division all year but Flat Out completely dominated.

Flat Out coming off just 14 days rest.

Is Flat Out that 3yo from a couple of years ago that was coming up at Oaklawn?

If so, I had wondered what became of that horse. He was a horse I thought had a decent chance to win the Derby that year. Considering that crop and all the injuries in it, that is.

Yeah, I just saw his PPs. Ran evenly in the Arkansas Derby (off a late running 4th to Old Fashioned in the Southwest) before disappearing for a year and a half. Crushed a Fair Grounds allowance comeback in December, then disappeared for another 5 months, returning with a second in the Lone Star Handicap. He was beaten less than 3 lengths in the Stephen Foster.
