wow, TGraph goin at em early with the ROTW

Lecomte

Their figs are very interesting, kinda put Beyer in his place..and me too. That pedigree work on Biloxi was very good.

Pedigree Query has some gaps apparently. No race record for "Prima Green", TGraph has a 5 for him:

and a statement that "Real Royal" was "unraced" Tgraph has 10's for her.

Biloxi has a half sis named "Real Cozzy " that was second in the Kentucky Oaks, running a Five it looks like.

Biloxi's second dam is the dam of "Real Quiet".

TGraph points out a little breeding angle I missed right off. Seattle Slew on top of that family history looks good. Its gonna be a question of is it. Definitely shakes the initial impression. Did the horse pull himself up?

Good Quick Work TGJB

Ringer, Ringer off the bench

The race that looks more likely to impact the Triple Crown is the San Rafael. Theres three pretty nice looking horses in there and one that may be. Chips are Down, Spanish Chesnut, Texcess and Kirkehdahl, who looks like he'll have to learn to ration speed. Dang they all got similar running styles too. Baffert and Douglas got chips off the pace last time. With these you can start to see some significant names in their company line. Small field but good race.

Dang Baffert paid a lot for Chips are Down. Am I reading that right 460K? Distorted Humor over Housebuster mare. Looked a little closer this time, best thing about the mare is shes "close" to some very good old blood.
