Thanks Churchill
The chances of having a Triple Crown winner this year are slim to none and none is the 1-9 chalk. How does slim win? We will need Nysos to get injured and miss the Preakness otherwise fat chance at anyone beating him in Baltimore. He is by far and away the best three year old after todays races. Fierceness fell apart after being at the lead in 50.3 and 114.1. Sorry, he shouldn't have collapsed with those pedestrian fractions meanwhile Nysos was on cruise control running 15 lengths faster at three quarters.
Now the Baffert haters are going to come on here and blame the owners for not transferring their horses instead of putting the blame where it belongs, Churchill. Talented young horses should NOT be moved from trainer to trainer, it can stunt their development. Churchill is going to keep the Baffert ban forever unless enough top horses miss the Derby like this year.
I wish some multi billionaire owned a track and would put up a 50 million dollar purse and get the 20 best three year olds to run the first Saturday in May and put Churchill on the back burner. Sad we are only at the beginning of February and the best horse can't win the Triple Crown nor is there much hope of having one this year. Kind of takes the fun out of the prep races. There is always next year for those of us who live long enough to see it!
