I think theres a lil more sentimental attachment to this for bob b, then most. I dont think ul see bob tryin to force his way to the ky derb with this 1. He did that last year with midnite interlude & was on record saying he wished hed have give ML a better foundation b4 throwing him the biggest race of his life. IMO the most powerful statistic in the Ky Derby is that NO horse has ever won the KY Derby that didnt have atleast 1 start as a 2 year old. Even if they didnt win as a 2yo, its so vital to get that foundation built in the freshmen season. Easier said than done, any trainer will tell u, its not easy getting 1 to the gate at age 2, so much can go wrong. So im not sayin bob failed here, cos im sure theres good reasons y bode didnt start as a 2yo, im jus sayin, i wouldnt get too excited on this 1. But if any1 can do it, its baffert.
