Mike,

Cat Thief put Charismatic firmly back in control of the 3 year old picture with a game performance and close win over General Challenge. G.C. was very washed out in the post parade and didn't look very good to me. He ran well though.

I almost played Cat Thief on the idea he could control the pace. It was widely reported that Richard Mandella didn't want Desert Hero on the lead. That left Cat Thief as the controlling speed in a very small field. I held back because Pat Day often lets this sort of opportunity slip by. He prefers to rate. (where's Angel Cordero when you need him (g)) As it turned out, Day tried to get the lead but was met by a very rank Desert Hero who was giving Jerry Bailey all sorts of problems on the rail, dragging him forward, climbing and doing the cha cha. Cat Thief remained comfortable on the outside during the average fractions and had plenty left for the stretch drive. Good race. The 3's are making progress.

Mandella 2 year old, Dixie Union, was very impressive in winning the Hollywood Juvenile. The 2 year old division (colts and fillies) is loaded with very talented prospects already. It's going to make for some sensational matchups later in the year. We still have Saratoga and Del Mar to unveil a few others too.
