Maybe I was a bit dramatic regarding favoritism but CONCERT TOUR will take a TON of money. I do stand by comment that the barn and owners hold him in much higher regard than RESTORING HOPE who blocked for JUSTIFY. Interesting that both are owned by Gary West.

Baffert has said, he was surprised by the off effort by CONCERT TOUR as the odds on favorite in the Arkansas Derby and was scratching his head over the lack of punch in the stretch. He also implied that it was The West's call to run at Pimlico so not sure what to make of it all.
