Comma To The Top and Anthony's Cross are both entered in the Robert B. Lewis and El Camino Real. Both at 1 1/8, only $50K difference in money, both graded. Who will go where?

DRF has Comma to the Top going in the El Camino Real Derby in pursuit of a bonus if he were to win certain races down the line.

HRTV confirms as well, odd CTTT was entered in both, just guessing but trainer perhaps waited to see if Tapizar was actually entered. Should be a nice weekend for California 3yr olds.

I think Tapizar would whip Comma. Too bad they're likely going in separate races this wknd. Comma is on a nice streak but how much further can he run? 9f has gotta be his limit.

Yeah, really disappointed Comma isn't in this, kills the value on Tapizar, I would've loaded up.

Comma to the Top has a full sibling named Perfect Storm who apparently is listed as a "leading runner in Belize, C.A."....they have horse racing in Belize? What's the name of the track?

8 starts, 7 wins and one placing for Perfect Storm....Does this include any route of ground?

Tapizar is almost a lock in here:
Tapizar
Ten Devils
Wegner

Up north, gotta go with;
CommaTTT
Silver Medallion
Formula Gold

It's really a shame that leading up to the Derby all the top guns will do almost anything to avoid one and other...I hate that and wish something could be done so they have to look a little harder for a soft spot where they can avoid each other...gggrrrr!

Thought Doug O'Neills Thirtyfirststreet was interesting here, however, on saying that, it's going to take a very good effort to overcome Tapizar.

I can't get myself to pick anything out of O'Neill's barn...if Tapizar doesn't win for fun today, a lot of folks are going to be scratching their heads!!

Just heard Dutrow sent Boys at Toscanova to the farm...guess they did some checking and can't figure out what is wrong with the horse, so, off the Derby Trail...better safe than sorry. Regardless of what some folks might say about Dutrow...he's a hell of a horseman and takes care of his charges.

I'm guessing 2/5-3/5 maybe box Tapizar,Ten Devils and Thirtyfirststreet for fun.

I do like Ten Devils. I don't know if he will win this horse but i think he has talent.

Nice fractions. Supposed to be a big time Derby Prep and the timer screws up. Great job Santa Anita.

Tapizar uncontrollable early on never settled until the far turn. Check him off the Derby watch list.

When I saw that 19 quarter...no way...someone said the timer screwed up...must have...but, Tapizar looks to be his own worst enemy...knew in that first 1/4 he was done...that was one of the rankest behaviors I've seen in a while...if they can't get that colt to relax...fugetabowtit:ThmbDown: Maybe some loooong slow gallops would help...or maybe he's just a head case!

Cashcall should be a grade 2 after this, that was a horrible race this year.


comma to the top is a 1 turn sprinter that caught a really really weak grade 1 race.

Timing races seems to be an afterthought to a lot of tracks theses days.
Wonder how many slot machines malfunction?

This game is really minor league at so many levels.

And have page after page about Grunder?????
I think his calls are the least of our worries.
