Dortmund: Weight?
Sorry for the question, but I thought I heard a snippet on TVG passingly that Dortmund is like 100 pounds lighter than he was just a couple of months or so ago?
Just wondering if anybody had any news on him in his comeback race today while facing Chrome in the San Diego Handicap.
Was he just unfit and needed some training? Did he get sick? I just haven't heard any news on the big fella. Then again, maybe I heard it completely wrong.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. I tried the interwebz but couldn't find ****.

i always wanted to know the horses weights during the triple crown races but could never find any source. was always curious as to who was holding weight, who lost weight and who filled out and put on a few pounds. generally if they lost weight, I would play against them.

Along with you and Olddaddy, this SHOULD be public information. Important information oh by the way.
And like you said, during the Triple Crown season for 3YO's that is critical info. Even as a 4YO for Dortmund, and I'm hearing something about him being 100 pounds lighter, or maybe even more, I want to know. I need to know if I want to wager into a likely 2 horse race if he has a real shot of beating Chrome.

I can't find the article, but read that he weighed in at over 1300 lbs in recent weeks. Baffert has been breezing him every 5 days trying to get the big fella fit.

So much for Dortmund. He went off at 6/5 against Chrome? I don't think we'll see the horse race again!

Believe you will see him again. He ran well off a layoff. He and Chrome were neck and neck to the wire.
It's good to see both of them still running!

It was a great race. The question now is the distance of the Pacific Classic. Many posters on here have always said Dortmund is not a classic distance horse. I wonder if that will change with him as he is now a four year old.

Little Button Upper left side... click it and start one... 
That was a thrilling race for such a short field... Dortmund ran a big one for being off for 7+ months. And Chrome what a trooper... can't wait for Beholder to get in the mix with these guys.
