At Fairgrounds for LECOMTE Stakes good for 20 points towards the Kentucky Derby…down to 6 runners…I think the rematch between Nash and Track Phenom should produce the winner Race 5 strong Maiden field Hall of Fame will get most of the action I believe after his 2nd at first asking at Churchill…I like the 9-NIGHT OUT Race 8 I like both of the Curlin Sire’s on debut 7-Exploration and 10-Cornishman nice card but rather chalky |

I'm rooting for the underdog Uncle Heavy in the Withers. Coming off a nice win after upsetting a 1/5 horse in a $200K graded stakes race for 2 yr. olds in December at Parx in the mud. Looks like he could run all day. Seminole Chief looks interesting as well. He's the class and is the speed horse in the race at 12-1. On a win percentage basis alone he's got almost 3-1 value. He'll be pressing early. Could run away with it. This is a good betting race if the live odds materialize anything close to the M/L prices. The likely winner of the Holy Bull seems to be a foregone conclusion. |

If he's that good everyone else should quit in embarrassment. People are worried about the Derby having an asterisk because he isn't allowed to race. I give every Derby Baffert has won an asterisk. |

With Baffert it's not about race day medication, it's about recovery and training medication. |

After California cracked down, some barn's win % fell off. But with Baffert he has the best stock and the best chemists and like I said last post his method is between races not on race day. So he just rolling along. |

That's the excuse his apologists give to defend his absurd results. Medina Spirit was a $1000 horse. American Pharoah was an RNA. Real Quiet was a $36,000 horse. I'm not saying he has no high priced stock. But he's winning classic races with donkeys too. |

Post subject: | Re: Road to the Derby |
Does Baffert have the #1 ranking in stock quality, I don't know. He does have owners with deep pockets willing to spend that money. I will guess there are very few trainers who would not trade their barn for his. |
