Well, I dreamed he won. Isn't that enough? 
Big good looking horse. Good work today.
Interested to see if he runs in front wraps again

Social Inclusion is definitely one to watch. Not too big on any other horse other than him and CC.

I'm the only kid Cruz fan? I was disappointed that he missed the wood.

well, a lot of speed to keep the frontrunners occupied. If CC can rate well a couple of lengths behind them, then he is really the only one that has been consistently good at picking up horses going long. Kid CRuz could close into the show spot of all the speed stops. I was actually looking at some of the stakes races that CC lost last year, and even while racing pretty greenly, in hindsight, he looked pretty legitimate. I think as long as he is not tailing off, he will win handily. He has the foundation so at least he isn't one of these colts with 2-5 starts that are sharp, but don't have that foundation. I would go CC, dynamic Impact, Ria ANtonia, and Bayern in my 4 horse tri box.

Kid Cruz did look pretty solid at the Tesio and I did like Lemon Drop Kid back in the day.

it has been awhile since I was really paying attention to the TC. I didn't realize that the Preakness infield has become some huge music festival.

How did the horses look this morning?

Social inclusion galloped well the day after his work (usually a walk day for horses) but got really sweaty. Apparently that is normal for him. Ride on curlin galloped strong and wanted to go faster. No word on general. Chrome jogged a lap while looking around a bit.

Based off of what everyone said about Chrome's works before the Derby that is what to expect from him.
Posted on 5/13/14 at 3:06 pm to PANTHER
He'll gallop tomorrow and we'll get a better feel

Yeah, apparently Social Inclusion is always one step away from completely losing it mentally. He washed out at the Wood. He is also very lightly raced. NOT a good combination when dealing with the craziness of a musical festival and just plain craziness going on in the infield not to mention the press of the saddling area on Preakness Day. The Stakes Barn is also much closer to the action at Pimlico now than the normal backstretch barns. I wouldn't be surprised if the trainer chooses to saddle inside if that is still an option. Still, if there is any horse who is going to be rank and running from the gate, I would give him the nod.

Aspy let me know what I need for a 5 horse tri. Thank ya ma'am.
Posted on 5/13/14 at 10:16 pm to SoGaFan
The front wraps he wears bother me more than any mental issues. Whatever they cover is probably the reason he's so lightly raced.
Posted on 5/13/14 at 10:24 pm to Aspercel
Yeah, I learned my lesson with poor ole Smarty Jones..
I noticed that CC raced in front wraps as a two year old, but not this year, although he trains in them.
Wonder if Y'all have been following the craziness surrounding Masochist's maiden win on Derby Day. Personally, I was a bit shocked that a horse that was both DQed for a positive as well as the rider being formally accused of not riding to win was allowed to race while the matter was unsettled.

Almost all horses train in 4 polos, that one doesn't worry me much.
If they've taken them off I'm sure he's fine. I hated smarty for no good reason, but I'm sure the wraps didn't help
I'm ok if I see older horses with a little wear and tear in them, but hate to see them on young horses.
I have been following all of that. Shady, shady. Wonder how much he made betting the horse. Had to be a ton to justify shipping that damn far.
