He won by 8.5 lengths over Bet Seattle, who came back last week to win. The gap from 3rd to 4th was another 7 lengths. Smokem Gray, who was 2nd in a key race on March 21 ( 5 also rans have since graduated) was absolutely drowned by Thermal Cat, beaten nearly 19 lengths.
The last time I saw a Hawthorne maiden produce a similar performance it was Meadowlake.
Curious to see if this colt can duplicate the effort. Even with the 102, I suspect the crowd won't trust the number and make Baffert's horse the favorite. |
What about Meafara?
Funny i was just glancing at this race in my form......Id take him over the baffert horse...GL
