High Limit was dreadful. He was the one horse in the race with decent figures that was an easy toss out. It was a struggle for me to even imagine a way for him to win this race.
His LA Derby was a decent performance at best. He couldn't cope with a 2nd string speed horse at 9F without staggering the last 1/8 of a mile. He's a decent horse. But how in God's name was this horse going to win with 2 second string horses setting a fast pace, a potential nightmare like Bellamy Road pressing him, and then a bunch of other Grade one pressers like Bandini, High Fly, etc... taking shots at him later -ALL AT 10F. This was the one horse I never even considered. Crist and Beyer had this one pegged.
