Horse looked green coming down stretch but that was a solid run as a prep for derby. Will be a major player slightly off the pace.

Disagree. Hes a total toss for me.

I think Magnum Moon is better as a stalker or closer than as a pace setter, but he had no choice. Not a whole lot of other speed in there to go with Quip. I was surprised that Quip hung around, but the early pace was slow, I think, so maybe that accounts for that? Or maybe I'm just not giving Quip his due. He may be just one of those horses that I continually misjudge.

I wouldn't say he is a complete toss as in I would be shocked if he won the KD. that said I think you have to take a stand against him unless you make him a C on a more substantial pick four ticket

How about Bee Jersey? Just watched replays. He was strong.

Me too. I will have to let a horse without a 2 Year Old season beat me first before I start using in the future. Keeps the cost of my Super down. Eventually it will happen but not playing has worked out until now.
