They're probably going to take a Game On Dude approach to each race with Bayern, now that he has two big wire to wire wins.

The other contenders need a rabbit or something. I think as long as Bayern gets confidence from being on the lead, it will be hard for any horse to defeat him.

I disagree. I think he'll be a clear bet-against at likely short odds. It definitely adds to the intrigue of the race though.

good like finding a rabbit that fast. He'll go as fast as he has to . if necessary, he could easily run these guys off their feet.

He is done for the year. Pulled a muscle in his back getting cast in his stall.

Uncle Sigh likely done for the year due to injury
