"I have to believe that he and Bailey are smart enough not to try those tactics at Kee but you never know. DD may just be one of those horses that does not like to run inside of other horses"

Jerry Bailey said (after the race):
"It was a good effort," said Bailey. "Bob (Baffert) told me that he (Domestic Dispute) needs to be outside, but you can't give up that much ground on this track."

I guess they aren't that smart. Hey Baffert, HELLOOOOOOOO, you keep telling riders to keep him outside and he is not winning. It's been so long since he raced on the inside, how do you know he will still react adversely? Maybe it's time for some different strategy to see if it makes a difference, unless you enjoy collecting those 3rd place checks.

Full disclosure: I have future bets on DD and am pulling my hair out as a racing fan knowing there is a horse out there who has run (presumably) four straight 2s and may not even make it to the derby because on the surface they look like "poor efforts" because of the ridculously stupid rides. Santa Anita, I can somewhat forgive because that track plays fairly to outside horses, but Keeneland is a rail track and everyone knows it. No excuse for having him 5 wide, no matter what baffert says.
