Many of these horses only have 4 or 5 races lifetime if that going in to the Triple Crown . How the hell do you know anything now . That San Felipe has 4 freaking horses entered today . It’s embarrassing. And people are making Nysos some kind of hero already . He didn’t make the race , hopefully it’s just track conditions held him back . Even with that who knows what the hell he’s beating up on out there . And how the hell do you call the Santa Anita H. A Grade 1 with that field ? But you got people carrying on like there’s not a problem .
And like I said before if you’re betting favorites in these future pools. Get your head examined . I definitely would not be bragging about that in public.

Baffert decided to let his other horses have a win, that is all. Perception is reality, after Nysos wins the Santa Anita Derby easily he goes off the favorite in the Preakness no matter who wins the Derby. I was going to put $200 on him in the futures if I could have gotten 5-1. That would have allowed me a $1000 to play around with in the tris and super, including putting him second in case he gets beat. If he didn't run then there goes the $200, it isn't like I haven't lost that much many times over the past few decades.
