I wonder if Wesley has his babies at Gulfstream since Keeneland is closed.
He will be odds on in the majority of baby races and usually deserving of those odds.
My question is, dis his 2 yr olds trpically race on or off Lasix in the past.

I'll watch the post parade closely to see what horses have the following: Blinkers, cheaters, shadow roll or nose strips.....Possible private workouts with experimentation of these pieces of equipment, might be the "tipping of the mitt" for a well meant 1st run....
1-4-6 have some kind of head wear....They're loading now.

Why would breeders throw a fit? Weren't they the ones asking for med free racing?
If a 2yo in April can't race without Lasix, there is zero hope for the breed long term.

Because a lot of them have invested a lot of money into stallions and mares that would have been bleeders if not for lasix. I think we'll be seeing a lot of 2nd and 3rd rate foreign stallions in the next few years producing American bloodstock. This is not going to be pretty in 2021 when owners and trainers start pushing their 3 year olds through triple crown preps and the triple crown

Just a observation, and yep after the race. Also noticed the was at Keenland, then moved to FLA. Thinking with 2 yr olds, I might look for that as a bet against angle.
