That Perfect Officer horse is a big question mark in here. That's a 5f horse going 6 1/2. That means it could pressure the front coming off that turn. I think that would be a mistake, because I don't think he will finish good enough. Is he gunna do that, or try to relax him for a stretch move coming off that apron? That 2 post is not ideal for that horse, either. This is the main horse I'd worry about if I was to single C Flag, because I don't see the others pressuring him. This one might be able to go up alongside him mid-race.

It has been pointed out a few times that horses who do best on the downhill course are generally those with decent form at a mile on the flat, not the 5-6f sprinters trying to stretch out. Not 100%, of course.
By the way, we all know who Morvich was, don't we? The first California-bred winner of the Kentucky Derby, foaled in the Napa Valley in 1919, pre-wineries. At two, he won all 11 of his starts, including the Hopeful, Saratoga Special, and Pimlico Futurity. As a 3yo, he made his first start of the year in the Kentucky Derby after a speed-oriented preparation (his 12th consecutive win), but his faulty front legs failed him thereafter and he never won again.

Is Migliore just going out to ride Desert Code or is he moving his tack back to California (again)? I see he has a mount in the next race after this one, but none the following 2 days. Is this just a move to keep Desert Code for another BC win?
