After watching Bayern, Kristo, and Midnight Hawk try to win anything outside of California even a couple of low G3 races it is obvious California racing is poor at best this year.
For more than a month I have listened to California people tell me how great Bayern was and how he is Bafferts Derby horse and he can run circles.... blah blah blah
It turns out he is simply not that good.
Churchill was favoring speed on opening day and Bayern set modest fractions at best and couldn't hold on without running other horses into the parking lot. California racing has been exposed.
But California Chrome is different right ? No... he is the best of a very very poor lot of racing horses in California and that will get you nothing in Louisville on Derby Day. CC a threat to win anything outside California ?
I don't think so.....
