I disclose that I have High Fly in Vegas at big odds... plus more $ at 30-1 in Future 1 and 20-1 in Future 2. That was a huge effort yesterday and I agree with everything Silver Charm says. HF will be in the garden seat in the Derby behind whoever wants to run on the lead. Zito will have him wound tight for Derby Day and this horse is sound and completely fit. One 12 hour virus since he stepped foot on a track is amazing in this era.
Speed-fig for yesterday:
HF was only .14 seconds slower than Skip Away winner Eurosilver who had a previous top of 1. HF carried 9 more pounds (about 2 pts?) than Eurosilver and their trips were not much different. Noble Causeway is the wild card. He only had a 5" top - how big a jump up will he be given?
We'll see this weekend when Future Book 3 #s are out.
