I thought you mentioned living in Burbank.

As for driving slow, five speeding tickets in six months would say otherwise.

I HATE slow drivers.

Tremendous stretch duel between Champ Peg and Bourbon Bay.

BONDE when asked what might be next: “We ran the horse enough (three times this meet). We’ll take a little spacing. I’m not sure. He’s nominated to Dubai (Golden Shaheen on March 26) but he has a chance as a stallion prospect, so my big goal—whether it’s the owners goal or not—is to run the horse in the Metropolitan Mile (Grade I, Belmont Park, $500,000 on Memorial Day, May 30). There might be one race before that but I don’t know what it’ll be.”

It appears that they're going to start running 6f in 1:05 out there.

The Factor could contend in the King's Bishop if they don't cook him before then. . . The second-place finisher is a very intriguing derby prospect.

Sway Away is only going to gain from that start and I agree, he's interesting. The Factor should not be sent two turns, but I'm sure he will.

I know it was his first start back and all but I'm not really that impressed with Sway Away. The Factor is getting attacked early on both sides and still has enough to win. Sway Away is dead last and saving ground and just at the very end starts making up ground on The Factor. The Factor clearly has foot problems and was not a definite for this race until Monday, less then a week ago. IMO he is out rolling because he is that naturally gifted. He does not break right on top and never seems headstrong. In other words I think he will rate. I'm not convinced he cant win the Santa Anita Derby and I'm not convinced that Sway Away is really that good. 9f and 10f are totally different animals. If this guy is healthy, and Baffert AKA the GOAT, AKA my HERO can work him I'm confident he can win a major Derby prep at 9f. Im just not sure about the big one going 10f. With all that being said I also feel he is the most likely Derby contender to be done for an extend period of time or retired due to injury.

Don't you have to try? Even if ypu think the possiblity is remote that he would be successful doesnt he deserve a shot? What do you think they should do just go to the Met Mile? He might not win such a race against older?

The way they are talking I doubt they think he can even get a mile.
