Pretty good card going in Oklahoma.
The Derby is a good looking heat.
Hollendorfer doesn't put the hood on many of his horses,but it sure seemed to make Battle Of Midway more focused.
Gato Del Oro has come around nicely.......nice training job by Baltas.
Untrapped...........should be running in the Breeders Cup Sprint next out.
And the ultimate horse for course reappears on the scene in the David M. Vance.

Actually, per Formulator, more than half of Hollendorfer's horses/starters have been blinkered over the past 12 months and (over the past 5 years):

Total Horses: 237 (761)
Total Starts: 1,027 (5,334)

With Blinkers:

Horses: 142 (436)
Starts: 570 (2,693)

Let me rephrase my blinker reference.
What I meant was........Hollendorfer doesn't make the "blinkers on" equipment change very often.

Cool frowning emoji above my most recent post.
A big yawn to whoever put it there.
