He might need one more run and then again he might not. Did you see how wide he was today. He showed he doesn't need much work.
Clearly would have won the Lanes End if he had gotten in which was their initial intended spot. And if they are concerned about the earnings issue they have several options includung the Forerunner on grass.
The Lukas pedigree was everwhere today winning both Stakes races at Turfway and figures to only get stronger as the Derby gets closer. Pletcher, McKlaughin, Maker, Stewart and the King himself. They are all in with a shot.
The rest of these guys are fading fast. Baffert is down to maybe one runner after starting out at Del Mar with about 50 $$$$Million babies. And what about Nick Zero. Looks like he's got nothing.
If Giacomo can win anybody can win, but only if you are entered.
