I think some like the Churchill Downs angle and project hes still rounding into form. I could be mistaken, but didn't he just get back to where he was at 2?
He looked like the distance got to him. In the next heat, the pace is going to be severe and he likes to run up front. The Arkansas Derby was a good race, but other than that who has he beaten and is more pace and more distance really going to be better for this horse?
This link is for Hossgnat, but anyone can comment. It is a video of the California Derby. My question is twofold:
1. Do you think that Cause to Believe would have been able to catch Sinister Minister but for the rail bumping incident. (Note Sinisters Bunny Hop. Its Classic), and;
2. Do you think that Sinister got back in gear after the momentum loss and that at the end of the race was on even momentum terms with Cause to Believe again?
What do you think.
