Marcus, Thanks for the analysis. Always respected and appreciated.
I asked you about Dominican in the Bluegrass and you told me he was usable at 30-1.I bet him @ 8-1 that day and I'm hoping Autobahn girl will give the same results.There are a couple points about Dominican I have not heard discussed. In both races he lost position and was not as well placed as I think Miller or Bejarano would have liked. At TP he was a 1/2 step slow at the break and had to rate off the pace. He closed off the pace on a day when speed was winning EVERYTHING. Also, in the Bluegrass, I thought Bejarano was going to fall off the horse in the first turn. He either took a bad step,clipped heels or got pinched but this cost him position. I didn't think there was any way Dominican could outfinish GH,SS or Zanjero. These horses had first run and Dominican showed us all how talented this gelding is. I think this horse will show more speed in the Derby. Reminds me a bit of Thunder Gulch.
