Dr. Schivel did not show up, was barely able to switch leads in the stretch; went to the well once too often on him I suppose chasing the Eclipse award.
Just another typical California graded stakes that played out like a well-orchestrated team workout. Maybe we can get Vince McMahon to invest in the racing industry, that way we can have intro music for the requisite odds-on favorite when they come out of the tunnel for the post parade...

He [Dr. Schivel] was bounced around after the start, so that is one factor that comes into play. Glatt said he has a fever this morning, and it could explain why he had nothing, too.
