It is nice when Bob Baffert says 30 minutes later exactly what i said. I was just so pist off yesterday with that ride by GoGo. BB telling GoGo he was going to rent him the Jerry Bailey dvds again was awesome,like referencing him to an apprentice jockey like i did.
Sydneys Candy still is kinda a mystery to me...His 2nd race back i was on Caracortado,and after the opening 1/4 i said its over they wont catch him....said the same yesterday with a few why the f's does no one pressure this horse....Im just not sure yet on this horse,i just dont feel it.
The blessing in disguise here,for myself anyways,is hopefully the huge amount of casual money that comes in for the KY Derby only sees the 3rd place finish in the running lines,and i can get a price (5-1 or higher) Derby day on him.
Eskendereya why looking very nice in the Wood,had no competition and should of looked like he did yesterday. My virtual stable notes arent changed by that Grade 1 workout,my notes said for the Florida Derby were that he killed the field in Big Brown or Barbaro style. If this horse can stay out of traffic and get a clean line outside,it may be all over in the KY Derby same fashion as the Florida Derby.
Something tells me LAL and Eskendereya will head each other in the KY Derby.
