Wood Memorial/Santa Anita Derby

Am following this year's TC at a distance, although was curious what might have caused that nice performance by California Chrome.  If Chrome's elderly trainer Art Sherman could train, would we have been hearing more of him?

Worth paying for DRF PPs to check this one out.  Nothing unusual showed.  Except possibly that one can get a performance with speedy 4f works Bobby Frankel style if we keep them racing.  I'd think the PPs are only part of the story with Chrome.  Does he e.g. motor around there at high speed every time he goes out there with similarity to I'll Have Another a couple years back?  These trainers get inspired when they finally get a good horse.

As to the Wood, other than that imo a lightly raced colt like  Social Inclusion has zero business being in the starting gate for a nationally televised race--why does TB racing allow this and take a chance on connections like these???--SI PPs actually show more works and races over a period of time than any other horse in the race.  That showed in the race were the horse was gunned by the jock one too many times to last the distance, possibly.  Jock lost the race for SI imo. Still worrying for this horse's safety which I dislike posting in event such thoughts would come to pass. And, one could nit pick in such a way every horse in the starting gate.  With SI, for reasons unknown, something smells causing me fear for  the horse.

Training:
4/4 Horses do another 4 x2 riderless with several full speed bursts.  No vid, of course, which guarantees a fast result.  4/5 back on after a week of horrible weather:
