How about Mylute being the second betting choice ahead of Departing? Interesting.

Is I really that bad for a closer?
Educate me, I don't know.

Horses on the rail either have to send or wait. He'll be fine. It's the mid pack horses that it sucks for. When they break everyone comes in to save ground. A horse can get stuck easily if they don't get out fast. He'll just lay off (though not as far) and come wide again. Only a 9 horse field.

His trainer would have preferred an outside post since Orb prefers to close or sit midpack. It's not ideal for his running style, but I think he'll be okay. I would expect Goldencents to go straight to the lead. Mylute and Departing will be sitting back too.

Titletown Five will also go to the lead...and then he'll fade, because he should be kept to sprint races.

No

It was the plan but the last race took a bit out of him. I'll shoot you an email.

Of course he is

I'm amazed that horse is still going. Gotta be the oldest horse Lukas has still had running in a while.

Check your email.

The way people are talking him up this week, you'd think he didn't finish up the track in the Derby!

I do think Will Take Charge had a legit excuse in the Derby though, ran right into Verrazano and had to be checked.

I do think this will be a better race for Goldencents...was a victim of that crazy pace in the Derby. Just don't think he'll win.

I thought Itsmyluckyday would run much better in the Derby than he did, so what do I know?

Still smarting from missing that $28,000 super...had Orb, Revolutionary, Mylute, and Golden Soul. ...Had Normandy in another super.
