I firmly believe that if Alice Verite had been allowed to use this running style in last year's BC Distaff, the race would have been a lot more competitive.
Here she is nearly wiring last week's G1 Victoria Mile at 97-1. Wild race.

I know the trendy narrative out there is that Thorpedo Anna is vulnerable in her own division this year. It's still unclear who out there is ready to issue a challenge, especially after (checks notes) Gin Gin dominated the Doubledogdare.

It's not so clear that we're going to see as much early speed from Citizen Bull. Interesting reporting from @dailyracingform.bsky.social’s Dave Grening today that Baffert is taking blinkers off the 2YO champ in the Derby. ⤵️ www.drf.com/news/baffert...

Unfortunately, 4 horses just leapfrogged Baeza on the Derby leaderboard: Burnham Square (130), East Avenue (60), and River Thames (50), and Render Judgment (39)

Wild finish to the Blue Grass as Burnham Square just gets up over a very game East Avenue. The runner-up might have been best considering the pace, but Burnham Square did go very wide. Seems doubtful we just saw the Derby winner.

Journalism had every reason to lose that race after getting stopped on the far turn, but he found another gear to run down Baeza. The runner-up obviously ran huge. I really hope 37.5 points is enough to get in the Derby.

Two (2) Derby invitations get extended to the leaders of the Euro/Middle East Road to the Derby, and that doesn't count a horse like Flood Zone who already qualified via America.
