The also rans in the race aren’t running very fast but a number of them that got totally buried in that field have run faster or at least run back to their best form afterwards. There have been 4 wins and 2 seconds directly out of it. So it wasn’t chopped liver the top 2 were around 7 lengths in front of. And again, IMO Loggins was better than Forte than day and Forte won the Juvenile.
I took skipping the BC Juvenile as a positive. It sounded like they know they have a very talented horse that could be Derby factor and they didn’t want to push him into 3 races in a short period and potentially ruin him. I didn’t read anything about injuries. So he’s probably galloping somewhere getting ready to start working next month. There’s not much point to working now when the targets are quite bit away.
