Anthony's Cross has been really working well at Hollywood the past month.
He finished 3rd in the Astrology/To honor and serve maiden race at Saratoga, and ended up breaking his maiden going a mile at Churchill, I believe.

I think he could make some noise in some of the 3-yo stakes out west this winter, especially after watching the non-descript group in the Futurity.

This horse is a total pig. I dont see anything he has done to make anyone thing he will make any noise in anything. GOAT runs 1-2, use the 1 for third.

I disagree, and think he has a lot of upside still.
But good luck with your opinion.

I think the 3 can be there. I like the 2 and 5 a little better. Good luck.

I dont see it. He is slow as hell. Good luck to you, the price should be OK with the Bafferts running.

Scratches left only 3 starters. Awesome Patriot "gutted" out a nice half-length victory. The 7f work that Baff put into him surely helped.
