The Crop is Good. The Fab Four didn't just vaporize.

Greeley's hasn't recovered from the Illinois Derby, those two tardy breaks are evidence enough for some that he's still not quite right. Stute wanted to take him home, so thats revealing. Still, he was a big 2nd Key for me on his back number and internal Derby explosiveness.

Bandini will make noise if he gets back

Bellamani ran a big, big Wood, though he appears a bit one dimensional.

High Limit ran a big Preakness. Those were HOT fractions at Pimlico for 3YO's going that distance. If Going Wild doesn't engage him like that, High Limit Certainly gets fourth and probably third.

High Fly never picked up a foot and in retrospect those that bet on him ought to be embarrassed that on the Derby pace and trip we even considered him. He'll be back though.

Closing Argument got the benefit of bias Derby Day and all you can say is he too bounced. Sounds like the owners sold an interest when the selling was good. Timing is everything.

Who else was there? Noble Causeway..nahhhh Wilko...nahhhhh Sun King?.......well he got lucky to finish where he did, but he gasping late with no excuse.

Hoarse, if he was adrenaline rushing, the adrenalin started kicking in on the rail midway through the turn.
