Two interesting pieces of information that I would like to share without mentioning names:
The connections of FRIENDS LAKE were hoping for a good showing (hopefully 3rd); they had all kinds of problems settling this horse down over the last 2 months. Terrific job by Migliore getting him settled; that horse will give you one burst and one burst only; Migliore saved ground and timed it perfectly; what also helped is that the pace came back to him. VALUE PLUS was more impressive than I thought he would be (Pletcher's horses, like FRANKEL,also don't quit ...see LIMEHOUSE in TAMPA) but he looks way too aggressive to be a KY DERBY winner.
MORE IMPORTANTLY: There are rumors that RTF bled in his last workout....I did not see that published anywhere, but a reliable source says it's true. If it is, why did Violette run???...if it is, RTF is toast until furthur notice....see SIR OSCAR if you disagree.
Good Luck,
Joe B.
