Super Saver was way too close to that hot pace. Borel stinks at anywhere not named Churchill or Oaklawn.

Neumeyer made a call on Lucky. Said he had terrible traffic issues in the Derby. Once clear he made up 15 lengths.
Was enough to convince me to make some bets with the #7...Ok by me. Made a few sheckles.

Good finish; no disappointments for me. 
At least no one was hurt when Gomez ran thru the first three rows of seats.

I was sort of wondering why Borel had SS up so close. Perhaps it was trainer's instructions?
However I don't think pace had anything to do with it. Look at the 11, First Dude. He went right to the lead and held for second on that very same hot pace, 46.2, 1.11 and change.
Borel just said SS didn't have it today.

First Dude was onthe lead early and finished second while i believe Jackson Bend sat third early and finished third.
Not saying Super Saver may not be better a little more off the pace but dont think the pace was any excuse for such a poor performance given the results off the other pace setters.

i should have seen the super saver bad race coming. pletcher's runners hardly ever repeat form. i got a little to caught up in the euphoria of his derby win. lucky certainly showed why i had all that confidence in him going into the derby. jackson and first dude beat me.

I noticed he had a beer and hot dog when he was going down the backstretch!

I understand the other pace setters still beat him, but I don't think it was the ideal place for him to be. His best race this year by far was from several lengths back, and I think that was his best chance today.

Garrett Gomez probably shouldn't be allowed within 50 miles of a triple crown race. Great jockey but it's got to be a mental thing at this point. Baffert puts up the seventh or eighth best rider in CA and the horse gets a perfect trip.
