He looked awesome and really seemed to be getting into it just before he got to the tents in the infield and then the next thing you see is a friggin rocketship coming out from behind the tents. Looked really powerful but maybe im missing something.
In my opinion, workouts are so unbelievably over-rated pre-Derby. While I back-off this a bit this year with horses having been synthetic mavens all spring, I still contend it. It'd be one thing if all horses were trained the same, and we could accurately compare, but anything beyond that, is a lot of guesswork.
