Friend or Foe for me ... classy hoss who should be good odds and is bred for 10 panels. I don't think we'll see a cold closer win this race tomorrow ... I like Ice Box as much as anyone else, but don't care for the lack of a lead change every time he's close in the stretch.

Good racing luck to everyone!

Something tiring about her action. See how she doesn't usually come back to race very quickly? She is either real exhausted, or sore from hitting the dirt a lil too hard. I think she needs that lesser class of fillies. I know she can do that ugly stuff, and beat lesser. That one paced stuff isn't gunna be enough to beat these. Rapport, and Beyondallboundarys are solid. There are some others that can upset on their best day. I know JV is a great jock, and the trainer packs it full of powder. Even so, If Katy fires her best, somebody will still get by her (late.) It's really tough to hold on to win graded races when you've got to use that action. Not sure what strategy i'll use yet.

If single = Rapport

If take 2= Rapport n' Beyond all

If deep=Rapport, Beyond all, K Kate, W Case, T Beauty

Was a pathetic ride by Robby on Rapport. M Garcia is a better rider in every way, and especially better on managing speed horses. I don't think they can hook up with her. He will just let her run a little more. It is Saratoga. So, I guess anybody can tire, but I wouldn't count on it. You just can't let a horse run a 21'1 first quarter at Calder. Every fraction was faster than the older girls ran that day. It shouldn't surprise anybody that she'd not be able to get the last quarter.

when in doubt use class
super saver towers overs this mediocre crop of 3yo's in terms of class
you've even got optional claimers in this race
few graded stakes winners and the rest haven't won or are trying to break through late
when are you ever going to get a derby winner as the third or fourth choice in a travers
when do you see pletcher in a grade 1 as a dog
11/6,4/all
love super saver in this spot
has a race over
the haskell wasn't as bad as it looked and this horse is not in the same sentence as the travers with any of the public handicappers

super sleeper

He does?

I don't agree with his reasoning, but I do like Super Saver a bit today. I think his Haskell was better than it looked, he'll sit a decent trip in behind the speed and he's one of the few proven at the distance. He's good value at ~6-1 IMO.

Yeah if you draw a line through the Preakness he looks a lot better. I just can't get that perfect trip in the Derby out of my mind. It should be interesting to see what Borel does out of the gate.

ice box and fly down exacta box.

[Sightseek]

Yeesh, I can't believe Cocalero picked himself back up after not just kissing the dirt once at the break, but twice.

[ateamstupid]

I'm amazed Garcia was able to stay on the horse.
