Bellsbend, I did not pick up a overly high leg action. But I did see a leg casting out on one of the horses in the stretch. I'm not sure which yet. The time doesn't bother me, but its a card that will be reviewed carefully. I liked his pace style for this Derby.

Regardless of where they were three months ago, these horses are not claimers now. Its not the horses fault that their trainers couldn't see the potential in them and risked them foolishly.
