There’s a flash flood warning right now because some heavy rain just moved thru.  By noon Friday and all day Saturday that track will be as fast as lightning.

Agree.  Last Fri night it rained cat's n' dogs almost like I have never seen.....coming down non-stop. Flash flooding all over the place.   But sun coming out and warmer temps on Sat morning, in the warmer climates, track at Oaklawn dries out very quickly and was rated as fast/good by the time races started at noon on Sat.   

He did beat Smiley Sobotka...theres that.

+ All. The Brady video showed the guy knows how to get there..

Quarterbacks drafted before him never wore the ring or raised The Lombardi .

Yah know earlier in the season he was taking public media criticism by coach: who then said at the Super B presentation. .I didn't do anything 

So the meaning of Brady here is by points + Performance 

ESSENTIAL Q. 5 + 0

Jock Navigated Lookin at Lee to 2nd 2017 Kdy. This colt in the Jeff Ruby 'Steaks; Sainthood ran 2nd after winner was bump by another then bumped Sainthood.  If move from poly is an upside colt is superbly navigatable.

Well-researched & quite well-written.  Thanks for the link, Dogs.  Well worth the time to read, IMO.

Great article Dogs, thanks.

A change of jocks to the elite riders can't make the runner - faster.

But..a more efficient trip.

The decisions of how and when to ride in a crowded elevator.

Not at the end of lunch hour when the cafeteria lunch special was burritos.

Did ya'll see the Baffert interview?

"......better interview me now cuz you probably won't be interviewing me after the race...."   

uh-oh.  On the other hand I think he realizes he's not the top shooter this year.
