So am I. But I feel as if 1 1/2 is too far for him. Kind of wish they had just waited for the Haskell. But who knows? My fingers are crossed that he hits the board, at least.

2-3-4-5-7-10
 

no workouts over the track

Meantime, #9..only horse that has run over the track in a race

Looking at lee and senior investment- sound horses

Patch- had some money from the 20th post - ky derby- 14-1 odds, but i thought it should have been 30-1..obviously some barn people had some moneys on the horse

Tapwrit- finished sneaky 6th in the derby


actually 2 has workouts over the track- so make it 3, 4, 5 , 7, 10 with no workouts.

jockeys with exp over the horse
 

Channinghill - 4 rides with Sr Investment
Ortiz- 4 times with Tapwrit
Espinoza- 7 times with Gormley
LEMAIRE- 5 times with Epicharis

Horses that have finished either 1st or 2nd in a G1 or G2
