CTC,

I was inferring to Like Now being on the engine in the Gotham, and yes he has to go another pole in preakness vs Lexington (I concur- my math at work was off today - too many contracts on the brain).

As for this foundation stuff. BD is a California bred - enough said. Both horses will now be approaching their 5th race of the year. Barbaro will be 5 races in 139 days and third race of form cycle in 49 days. Brother Derek will now have raced his 5th race of the year in 126 days and third race in 42 Days and 4th race in 77 days. So since March 4th BD will be racing on avaerge once every 19 days and barbaro will be once every 26 Days. So whats the big deal?.

Think I rather have the horse who may not be "fully extended" yet than one who has. And if Barbaro was fully extended that what can you say then about BD?

Again I am not betting the race this weekend. NASCAR in town.
