BLUE GRASS:

I think CLOSING SWORD will continue to regress. I never like "bore out" horses in their next race. It's either a sign of a physical problem or a problem with the distance.

CLOSING ARGUMENT: Not against this bunch and not off of the 2 month layoff.

SPANISH CHESTNUT: Souring; the only thing I can think of is what another person on this site mentioned....he's a rabbit for BANDINI.

CONSOLIDATOR: Ran his best 2yo # over the track....did not beat much in California but he did it impressively. Has terrific turn of foot...unlikely to bounce for Lukas in a race Lukas loves to win.

HIGH LIMIT: The most likely winner if you project that he pairs-up for Frankel...do not want at 2-1 or less. Will root that Dominquez tries to send and he losses ground into the first turn.

SUN KING: I was never a fan of this guy. Likes to run wide which helped him at Belmont but will cost him dearly in here.

BANDINI: Missed training and tough post...perhaps he picks up some pieces in the lane if pace is too hot and perhaps we can look at him as a relatively fresh PLETCHER ready to run a new top which he will probably need to do to get into the Derby.


For value purposes, let's try CONSOLIDATOR over BANDINI and reverse for half the amount.
