    Looks like it fell in his lap and got a perfect trip/very nice ride but the 1 had figures from the winter on the inner that were competitive.D'Bulldog is a definite bet back if the price is right.

    Great ride by Ortiz benefited by a blistering pace duel, don't think I would reach any conclusions about the track with that race.

    Even then he didn't close from far out, he was first horse after the duel.

    I think the 2 is just the best horse right now.Wildcat Heir babies are at their best as 2 yr olds and the first half of 3 yr old provided they are in a sprint or up to 1 mile on turf.

    Couldn't agree with you more. I am quickly becoming a rabid fan of both of them.

    Yep. It just absolutely destroys the pick 5 and pick 3s in this sequence. I hate this race with a passion, its battle of the exes, only without Mike Smith destroying his ex fiancee.

    Its hard to tell until they lose their bug.I have seen tons of apprentices who did phenomenal as bug riders fall off the map once they were on equal weights.

    Thanks, although I am quite interested in this next race... obviously I've keyed the 3 in this race. Although, He's the only one in for the tag of $75,000. Now is someone really going to pay $75,000 for him (or any of the others)? Not likely, so I don't know how much that matters. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those, he's either gate-to-wire, or he's coming in dead last.

    A lot of horses get claimed for 75k or 50k .Lou Brissie ran yesterday I think 1st off a 75k claim for Mike Maker.Then there is Calibrachoa for Pletcher who I think was a 62.5k claim and went on to win two G3's after the claim.There are many but those are the ones off the top of my head.
