Personally out of the BIG 3 Commandment has the least amount of questions to be answered.
The jockey situation played out how anyone paying attention knew it would.
Lots of media drama surrounding this issue.
While personally I prefer up front runner Saez over Closer Saez he is more than capable.
Since the 2 year old Jinx is being put to rest, The Puma is a very interesting prospect and from what I’m anticipating numbers wise he has less questions than 2 of the BIG 3.
Interesting horse that is not being talked about and really has no issues to me other than lack of the media is So Happy.
Numbers wise he is right there. Has the stalking running style to win the Derby. Biggest concern for me is the post position. Would much prefer outside draw Smith as to inside draw Smith.
Horse that may throw the biggest monkey wrench in this is Six Speed.
He seems to be an elongated sprinter and as Fairmont has mentioned he just might be Crown Pride 2.0.
If he does set a crazy pace, Golden Tempo is interesting to me.
Horse is bred to run all day, Jose should definitely know his horse by know.
As far as who goes favorite I’ll say Commandment gets it. 4 wins in a row with back to back triple digit beyers.
Fun times as the silly season is here.
Look forward to some good conversations and let’s get lucky!
