Thank you . You saved me some work

Save for the Lasix effect Page 2

I went back over his (TP's) races, carefully.  I looked carefully at his earlier dirt races at shorter and he seemed very fast.   Then I watch his race at TP again.  I was concentrating more on his sire DI and his speed at shorter when I originally looked at him w/out seeing all the stamina on the mare side.  I think I was wrong about him and you were right.   

Truth be told, I was kind of not looking closely at him or Tapit Trice because in the back of my mind I had them set aside for the Belmont Stakes.  
 

Both should be coming in the Derby after 8.5f mark on a fast track, with a good trip

I have both on my ticket as noted on my ten before  the Draw.

I like the one who rates and loves to be covered up close and drafts

between horses and moves forward like a Nascar and his Jock fits him

like a glove no matter the grade of the race. Best under the Radar work 

by a few including me and I also liked a couple of other works. EDIT Two Phils 2nd place.

Interesting in relation to foundation.Personally,I think both are quality animals but this is too much too soon

Exactly, If Pletcher did his job he would tell his clients with Derby Fever to get another Trainer

and take the loss from his purse, and or enter at the next level race . 2 for 62 is crazy

3 or 4 a year 

I would prefer a conservative trainer.It’s like hiring a financial planner and ignoring his advice.Like you said,the trainer should put the horse first and tell their clients what is in the horses best interests

One for Shaddy. good luck  Edit Lasix Free 2nd Place Two Phils

Here is an angle to take a good look at, what do they have in common 
yes they all won a Gr race in last start, what else ?
all are Lasix free runners. Are you going to use a Horse
for the win whos highest speed number is with Lasix or
one from this group carrying 126 pounds at 10 furlongs
and you can add Mandarin Hero to this group L free
and missed the Win by a nose.
