California Chrome
Would like to see if CC could stalk and win. Been on the lead in all his wins.
Last time was the first time in his career he had the lead before the stretch call....
Wow, California Chrome just impressive!!!
He is the Fav for the Derby for now, but watch Bayern next week in Arkansas. The Fav for the derby is going to be 6-1
I think California Chrome ends up as a clear favorite as of now. Bayern will have to be awfully impressive to compete with him in the betting. The top horses coming in are all dropping out. Honor Code, Shared Belief both out, Cairo Prince and Social Inclusion just failed, Candy Boy and Hoppertunity just got whipped, so who does this even leave? Constitution hasn't done anything wrong, but the other horses that have won preps don't appear to be anything special. I'll say Chrome is 5/2-3/1 favorite.
Ok now. I know CC has looked impressive but let's tone it down. How many madiens were in the race? Candy Boy last raced 8 weeks ago and Stevens kept him close to the pace and probably hurt his closing ability. As Bailey said CC doesn't get out of the gate that quick, and in the Derby with 20 horses he may get cut off. Actually so far the strongest Derby is probably the Fl Derby. You had numerous horses that won stake races in the race. How are the owners of Social Inclusion feeling today? They turned down 8 mill.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must hate $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
