HP--

I agree. I expect RTF to run very well this Saturday. Most horses that run well in the FOY usually repeat the effort in the FLA. Derby.

With that said, we're talking 2 consecutive solid efforts off the layoff. It's hard to imagine RTF backing off in his April race and then improving to an even better top on May 1st.(which he'll probably need to win the KY Derby).

Not saying it cannot happen ( I believe THUNDER GULCH was able to do it), but I'm not even thinking about RTF wearing the Roses right now.

Good Luck,
Joe B.
