I know, the Los Al Futurity is a joke. All Baffert or past assistants....only 200K, so why come across the country to compete? The Remington is worth twice that, and you don't have to fade BB's high-priced stable.
Really looking forward to seeing Giant Mischief....Echo Again is also in the race

Yeah, Its sad California becoming a one trainer sector for g1 elite Young Horses.
They are not the only one running short point races. The preps should have 8-12 entries
with 9 or 10 trainers and limit deep pockets not to have more than 2entrants IMO. In this window of time,

I was impressed with Practical Move's race, enough so that I bet him at 100-1 for the Derby.....

I liked the race at Remington Park better, Did you watch it, The runup was 50 feet, Los Al 85 feet on a faster track variant
Both Beyer and Equibase gave the 1st two at Remington WildatlanticStorm and Giant Mischief 5 or 6 points higher than
Practical Move. I thought Giant Mischief was the best of the 3 mentioned with that missing the break and running around the field
starting at about 5 furlongs in and WildAtlantic has a elite Turf pedigree running good on dirt.
I don't put Future bets on any 2 year old that doesn't have at least 1 stamina Chef within 5 generations,
he needs to show me more between now and the middle of March.

I did watch both races, and I too was impressed with Giant Mischief, he missed the break terribly. Thanks for pointing out the variant differences, However, even still, Practical Move did run well and has so consistently. I understand the pedigree limitations, still thought the bet was worth it. Giant is 40-1, too low for me at this point. Do you think the horse that beat him can go into the TC preps, or should go on to some turf stakes?
