Wed. Misc.

Classic looking Derby horse?  As classy a looking Derby horse as there's been?  Although--ardly scaring them off of Pimlico. Combo of reasons possibly including that Derby field had a lot of very good horses all of whom, somehow, came out of running 1.25 miles on a sealed surface without injury.  This might be a testament to the more intelligent training that's coming.

Plecher?  The typical.  This trainer dislikes quickly running back.  The blog might have had one thing right about the Derby--Plecher's breezing his one time in 3 weeks prior to Derby failed to work.  Verrazano was exception to that though V was going to tank on that surface irregardless.  Best Preakness in a while coming up.  I am sort of rooting for DWL.  Oxbow is a real threat here given his nice Derby performance.  Will see how Oxbow trains.

Training:  7 days of terrible weather in KC.  Two days drying. Raining again today.  We're using this untrainable weather as a spur to get out of town.  Will report soon.
