Baeza ran a monster effort and may not get in the Derby b/c of the short field Cali problem that only 3 trainers out west could develop Derby prospects.

I have the Wood with a very big Beyer likely for Rodriguez (but with Saffie scratch early fractions weren't crazy allowing him to scamper home in classic Bob fashion after maintaining the 1L lead around the track). Sorry Bob, no dice in SA. . ..off the board in a 5 horse field b/c maiden Westwood was too fast?? Not buying that lol. It is very interesting neither Baffert went to the front there. Or wasn't able to get to the front I should say? What does 3.2 million and $675k get you these days? LOL

Felt like Barnes jock was paying extra close attention to Baeza early and trying to intimidate, cause an extra path wide, etc etc. Need to watch again.

This is one exciting Derby trail with Kee left to go on Tuesday.
