Rich Strike was just 3 years and 12 days old when he won the Derby. His sire didn't win a stakes until the Travers and his Oaks-winning dam finished third in the Queen's Plate. His Beyers have risen in each of his last five starts. Could it be that he's just coming into his own?

My first racing job - 1974 - in publicity at Hollywood Park, came up with a feature idea about this Los Al trainer named Lukas switching to thoroughbreds. Pitched it to my boss. "He might be big someday." I said. "Naw, nobody cares," he told me. "Come up with something else."

Flightline. . .another annihilation. 1:21.37 over a dead track despite being eased up from the furlong pole to the wire. Margin? Who knows? 10 lengths? He may not win the Eclipse Award as champion sprinter but he's the fastest sprinter in training by a pole.

I don't know what the "letter of the law" is in Ky. I do know that in California there's a DQ only if it's determined that a placing (or a larger share of the purse) is lost due to a foul. Yes, that's a judgement call, but aren't they all? That guideline was ignored today.

Even before the Kentucky Derby I said Justify's least difficult Triple Crown race would be the Belmont Stakes, because he has perfect blend of speed/stamina, and he's thoroughly cooperative (he'll do whatever the rider asks him to). Assuming he's 100%, he'll complete the sweep.

It's unsatisfying to see a horse back into a win, and that's exactly what Country House did. Had he truly been fouled (he wasn't) and then awarded the win, there would have been little or no controversy. The frustration is that the best horse, rightly or wrongly, was dq'd.

Not that this is an original thought, but maybe it's time for NYRA to join the 21st century and do away with coupled entries.

Rock Your World was 2nd best local 3yo I saw this winter - behind Life Is Good. But the evidence suggested he was just a turf horse (I thought so, too). Love the strategy to send him leaving the gate to eliminate dirt-in-his-face concerns. Kentucky? Worry about that later.

Maximum Security (2/5) makes the pace with Sharp Samural right along side every step of the way before exerting his superiority in the final furlong to win the Pacific Classic by 3 1/2 lengths in 2:01.24. 5-6-1-2. 'Security has crossed the wire first in 11 of 12 career starts.

Under a ride from the 3/8ths to the wire, Tacitus enjoyed a dream run aided by a blazing pace to prevail in the Tampa Bay Derby in his 3rd career start (first since Nov.). He's a one-paced grinder, but being by Tapit from Close Hatches, he should improve and stay all day.

Trainer Bob Baffert says he was pleased with West Coast's runner-up effort to Accelerate in the Awesome Again Stakes and believes the race should have his colt primed for a top effort in next month's Breeders' Cup Classic. @WatchXBTV

Rio Ocho, who finished fifth in the Santa Anita 9th, was a hundred miles the best. Just thought I'd be the first on my block to say it.

Mind Your Biscuits solidifies his ranking as the best sprinter in the U. S. - at least until Drefong returns later this month at Del Mar.

For whatever it's worth, Cee Ce just ran a mile in 1:37.33 in winning the Beholder Mile-G1. Thirty minutes earlier Charlatan won his race in 1:36.24. The speed figures guys are going to have some fun with this.

My stable doubled (to two) today - after a successful bid (for $40,000) on a nice Artie Schiller yearling colt at the CTBA sale up north.

Winning day, losing day, doesn't matter, it's always a good day when Lady Eli wins.

Been Studying Her makes it a perfect 4-for-4 Day Maker sweep today for @xpressbet members by winning the Generous Portion Stakes at a fat 8-1 for Smith/Hollendorfer. Bulletproof One (1/5) had speed inside and folded up. Let's keep this up through Labor Day, then take a breather!

Practical Joke. One-turn horse. Really good one-turn horse. Case closed.

Tiz the Law ran as expected to win the Florida Derby-G1. He's good, very good. But I still believe the real depth and power lies out West with Charlatan, Authentic, Nadal, and Honor A.P. Hope they all remain healthy and in top form until September (and beyond that, too).
