Comment
Undefeated in four career starts and impressed in his first of 2021 in Southwest on off track, will have final prep in Blue Grass at Keeneland on April 3.
Showed his class when overcoming shorter distance in Fountain of Youth, major player can become even more major with big effort in Saturday's Florida Derby.
Has become the top seed for Baffert with Life Is Good off the trail, impressive Rebel winner will be back at Oaklawn for Arkansas Derby April 10.
Has been in New York all winter, Withers winner will run in Wood Memorial at Aqueduct on April 3, blinkers have been a game-changer for him.
Will be Baffert's main player in April 3 Santa Anita Derby now that Life Is Good is out, was distant second behind him in San Felipe.
Jumped into the pool with a front-running scorer in Louisiana Derby, maybe the California horses are better than everyone else.
Best of the rest when second in Louisiana Derby, son of Tiznow now in the hunt for the roses.
Second behind Essential Quality in the Southwest, let's see what he does Saturday when he runs in Florida Derby; will be Baffert's first runner ever in that race.
Solid second to stablemate Concert Tour in Rebel, yet another from the fat Baffert barn, Arkansas Derby next. Was no match for Concert Tour in Rebel, will get another chance against him in the Arkansas Derby, not giving up on him just yet.
Didn’t beat a lot in Tampa Bay Derby, it was his first start on dirt and going long, unbeaten in three starts, will head straight to Kentucky Derby.
Broke maiden in second career start by dozen lengths at Gulfstream in February, gets acid test in Florida Derby.
