"I made the pace of the SA Derby a little slow. If correct, that complimented both Giacomo's and Don't Get Mad's performances in that race. I made that point before the Derby Trial"
Class,
The track was kinda dull SA derby day(for California)and Giacomo HUNG like a chandelier the last eighth. His race in the Sham was his best effort IMO and I bet him back in the San Felipe.
Figs wise, notwithstanding the hot pace,this derby defies any logical explanation to any student of the game and the drug stuff is over the top because too many runners did not perform AT ALL.Feed back from connections of Zito and Pletcher have those trainers"dizzy"
Two more tidbits, Johnny V "protected" Bandini just about all the way(toss the performance) and he did NOT like the inside part of the track all day.
