Nice race analysis Silver. You referred to proprietary numbers and that's what the proprietor wants to see. Wanted to take a shot at Corncob but got busy with life and missed the race. Looking at the numbers, last conscious thought was "Look at Speed King's works post defeat... is he going to come in with intent?" Speedy's two post defeat works showed intent... and but for Speed King's bad early step, Corncob may not have earned anything for the effort.

Personal bias enters these challenge Baffert considerations. It's Tony's belief the silver haired vet should be barred from the sport permanently. That Medina Spirit nonsense was the last straw. How many Kentucky Derby winners croak on the track after a workout in their acclaimed year?

There wasn't a lot in the race, but the crowd was all over that outcome.

He needs to be gone.
