The odds on Flood Zone were the most inexplicable I've seen in a very long time. OK he came from sprinting against state breds, so maybe 8-1 or something. But he had the 2nd or 3rd best last out fig. 17-1 was absurd.

The two out west maybe the top 2 Derby prospects. The Beyer was a monster(108).

The Gotham and FOY winners will look better on TG than Beyer. Looking at the Mindframe/Steal Sunshine race, the FOY should get something between a 0 and 1. They changed the runup for the 2-turn races though. It probably flatters the time but makes for a longer race. Maybe a push.


Speaking of the FOY, looks like the first time in a while that it will produce more than just one or two good horses. Sovereignty ran big off the bench. River Thames very credible first time going two turns. Gate to Wire has a future at 7F.

Burnham Square will be an overlay next out. After looking like throwing in the towel at the top of the stretch, ran on again to close at the same pace as the winner. Would have had 3rd with 2 more strides, and 2nd with another 1/16th.
