I fully expect a solid BSF but the raw time was more than two seconds slower than California Chrome's version. Obviously not the same track condition.

Track condition aside, the track is very different (slower) the past year at SA.

Yes. California Chrome's San Felipe was on the same card as Game On Dude"s 1:58 flat!

CC's San Felipe was awesome! He made it look as though he was pretty much on cruise control all the way around the track that day. I believe there has only been one San Felipe Stakes run at a faster clip than the one he ran and I believe off the top of my head that may have been run by Consolidator...

I went to Fonner Park today and sat with some guys that I have been involved with handicapping wise for a long time. All of them said the same thing, do that again. Love to see the top contenders face each other and as some would say, "bring it". This was not a "prep" race, both showed they are in it to win it.

Baffert is known for taking a hike. If Solomini tanks next week then I would not be surprised to see McKinzie show up in Arkansas.

Baffert was interviewed after the race by TVG and was quite upset. When asked about a rematch, he said after that decision he had a sour taste in his mouth and was seriously thinking of shipping out of state.

I didn't have a bet on the race. I would have let the result stand

Baffert has to know that the extra 1/16th of a mile in the Santa Anita Derby is clearly in Bolt d'Oro's favor.

Great race. And as he said, 2 really serious horses. Would be great to see the "drama" of these two colts carry out over the next couple of months.

After the interview they threw back to Todd , for once he was speechless. He said he was stunned by what Baffert said. I thought he was right in everything he said.
