Interesting 3 yo n1x race going 9f. $3mil+ Dunkirk even money. Alma D'oro first time Dutrow. Warriors Reward - rare Wilkes debut winner gets Borel to fly in. More than Willing ran decent vs Old Fashioned.

A few potential in here. About 8 mtp.

For the big, long-striding grey Dunkirk, by 5. In stark contrast to Old Fashioned, this one loped along off the pace for 9F, and closed with action that looks like he might enjoy going even longer.
I finally have a grey horse I can get behind now. :) Let's hope he comes out of it well. Didn't look like he broke much of a sweat in this one.

he was very wide the first turn, impressive run, lots of room to keep getting better too.

Looks like pletcher finally has a legit Derby hopeful, he was 5 maybe 6 wide on the first turn and drew off easily!!

Dunkirk is looking good.

Hero's Reward also ran a decent race.

You forgot to mention that Garret Gomez flew in from Cali to take the mount for an allowance race. JR is in Dubai but didnot ride him before. Wondering where Pletcher will spot him for his stakes debut, Florida Derby , Tampa Derby ? Louisiana ?
