Romansh (Javier Castellano)
Transparent (Irad Ortiz Jr.)
Will Take Charge (Junior Alvarado)

I'll just talk to myself.

Orb had his final work today, Mike Welsch tweeted that he looked pre-FL and KY Derby. With the plan for Moreno will it set up for Orb again??

I'm pretty sure Moreno plans to win the Travers, not set it up for Orb.

So why do you think Orb has been in Maryland when Shug stables in SPA?

Anyone on here like Will Take Charge? i thought his last race looked pretty good and if the jockey wouldn't have had to worry about going inside then outside of palace malice im not so sure he doesn't win. I know he is a big horse and if there are only 8-10 horses in the race maybe he can do soemthing. Seems like every big race for a 3yr colt is won by someone different except for Verazano and Palace Malice so why not?

If the $15K bet was yours to make who would you place it on?

My bet: I would play it "safe" with Palace Malice

Like I said, I was totally drawn in by the trip he had in the Derby and played him in his next two races. Once those were bombs, I gave up and he started running!

thanks bama, this season has been so odd it just seems like these horses change by the week. I don't have any money to bet but I love giving out winners to my coworkers I just like reading the drf. like I said in my post seems like a new horse jumps up and wins these 3yr old races wild season.
