The race on the fake stuff at TP. The winner of that race gets a berth.
Despite no real horses from the west (due to Baffert's ban and divisional monopoly working in tandem) and no real standout or ultra-fast horses (yet), ...this is still a pretty entertaining "road".
For one thing the Japanese are going like gangbusters, and one of these years they are going to win it. Plus some of these lightly races horses look promising, whether or not they can pull it al together by May (e.g. Deterministic, Just a Touch, etc.).
El Grand O might clean up in future NY races, Track Phantom is consistent- maybe a helluva future miler. Catching Freedom has promise. Etc.
Lots to like on the Derby trail this year...
I mainly read and don't post, but I vote for one thread.
