    Factor looked good today alright, but still has not
    seen the pressure that will come on Derby Day.

    Baffert gave a clue, I thought when he worked
    6f in 112.1 after the prior weeks drill in 110.3,
    maybe he figured out how to get him to relax or
    maybe it was the return to the old bit he had
    been using. Whatever it worked today. Dropped
    him from my Fantasy Stable when Baffert said
    he wasn't going to send him long. Thanks, Bob.

    Fog City Stable and George Bolton's THE FACTOR (War Front) made a successful two-turn debut in Saturday's $300,000 Rebel S. (G2) at Oaklawn Park, winning in such an emphatic style as to ensure his continued presence along the Kentucky Derby (G1) trail for the immediate future. Questions surrounding The Factor's ability to harness his speed and to stay 1 1/16 miles were quickly put to rest as he took an uncontested lead, set sensible splits (for him), and opened up on his eight rivals through the stretch to win by 6 1/4 lengths in a time of 1:42.


    -------




    Sway Away (Afleet Alex), the 9-5 second choice who also invaded from California, was a bit rank entering the first turn, fell far behind, and made only a modest rally to finish sixth in a disappointing effort. He beat 7-2 third choice J P's Gusto (Successful Appeal), Picko's Pride (Cactus Ridge) and Bluegrass Jam (Bluegrass Cat) to the wire.

    The race was over when he got loose by 4 in a 23 and change opening quarter. No pressure on an easy lead allowed him to slow it down so when the others made their moves to get to him, he was just starting to run.

    Apparently Sway Away was washed out before the race.
