He was up there Thursday to see a horse had running. Anderson was concerned that the filly might run off when guided to the outside. She was head strong in a work because she is ready to rock and roll and if she engages outside well now we have a bit of speed duel or stressful pace. Why does she go outside? To avoid the kick back. A lot of handicappers have her sitting a pocket trip saving all the ground sooooo........
He also spoke with Kenny McPeek who said he is as confident today as he was Oaks Day. She is a FREAK. McPeek is going for a Oaks-Derby-Travers Sweep that has probably never been done. This is a long ways for a guy who when he first got in the business had only ONE horse down at Fairgrounds and he got totally loose (as in he left the grounds) and was running down Bourbon Street. Or somewhere close. True Story. I reminded him of this after Oaks-Derby and he still remembers the name as he laughed. You never forget how far you've come when your not born on 3rd base. I know one thing he can handicap, he looks at numbers and he knows his horse. She will be in the best place for her to Win and she is Gonna FIRE.
I said earlier this week I like Society. Gun Pilot like a lot of 3YO they tried to stretch out last year and like some Gun Runners (Vahva) they are Sprinters. He will be tough but look out for Pratt. His horse has some serious come home time. But needs a new 1 point top. The first half dozen races are Lotterys. Good Luck everybody!!
