Hello Pete, I hope you are well.
I just watched (repeatedly) replays of this year's FLA Derby and cannot think of a better race to point to where it looks like the winner didn't get up.
Of course, I reference the inaugural running of this (Million) race where it looked like The Bart hung on. Hey, it was run in Chicago, who delivered JFK, right?
Well after wanting to give evidence Commandment will prevail Saturday; after all, Irad could not win two Million dollar races that day (3/28) simultaneously; I decided that Saturday is another day. I lean that way.
I don't know why you would go against the obvious chalk Burnham Square (5/2) or my pick Test Score (9/2). But I don't like the sire (Classic Empire) and you asked.
