Mike,

>>I actually bet on River Keen. I just thought the price was too high. Had I known about the hoof problem, I
probably would have taken a pass.<<<

Exactly. After the race I was going crazy for not betting him. When I found out about the hoof problem I at least understood the price. It must have been widely known though for it to have that much of an influence on the odds.

>>I think Yagli has real problems. He may be overrated.<<

Overrated initially and now there's something wrong.

>>Ditto for More Than Ready.<<

I'm not sure what to make of him. I was genuinely impressed with his early races. They were extremely fast and against some pretty tough fields. He might be just another precocious 2yo sprinter, but I think something else is wrong too. He threw in the towel after 5 1/2 furlongs. I can't believe that's the same guy I saw earlier.

The Baffert 2yo, Forest Camp, disappointed with no real excuse other than he was a little rank. At least he got beat by a real tough opponent.
