My unscientific pick is Free Rose, because I know the owner.

Congratulations to Bing Bush and all the members of Abbondanza Racing. I really wanted to be there! If he runs in the Hollywood Derby, save me a seat!

Tip Tapit Tapizar gives his sire Tapizar his 1st stakes winner, as he takes the,Sapling at Monmouth today.

Good pick. Frosted looks to have regressed.

On a more positive note ...

Another Tiznow stallion, Tizway, had a very impressive filly win her first start on turf 8/7. Keep an eye out for Coasted, who lived up to her name, winning by 8+ lengths. Miss Grillo next?

The connections didn't wait till the Miss Grillo. I see the BC Juvenile Fillies Turf in her future. You MUST watch this replay:

Sigh. A physical issue? Could they possibly be more vague?

A P Indian towers above all sprinters in the East. The BC Sprint should be a dogfight - him, Lord Nelson and Masochistic.

Theory, colt by Gemologist,  broke his maiden 7/30 at Saratoga geared down by 6 lengths. I am hopeful he is Hopeful bound.

Arrogate reminds me of Bellamy Road in the 2005 Wood Memorial. And he never won a race after that one. We shall see.

I wasn't nearly as impressed by Bellamy Road's win because it was much earlier in the year against a much lesser field. Arrogate, however, beat a much more seasoned field composed of many graded stakes winners. Granted, the best of the field other than Arrogate was a mudder, but you've got many G1 and G2 winners in the field and he clobbered them.

I've been a horse racing fan for over 50 years; this was the most impressive race by a 3 year old I can recall since Secretariat's Belmont.

Wow, Bradester. Would love to see him upend Frosted.

Unprecedented 122 Beyer (prelim) for @JuddmonteFarms' Arrogate (Unbridled's Song) under Mike Smith for Bob Baffert.

I believe it was upgraded to a 123. If he stays sound, we could be talking about greatness here rather than just one freakish performance. He's 4 for 5, with wins against older already. I say keep him over there and either run him in the PA Derby or JCGC.

I've attended the last 2 Pacific Classics and won both. This year, sorry Beholder, but I'm picking Chrome. His last race was just what he needed - some good competition to crank those screws a bit. It won't be a cakewalk, I think he'll win by about 1 1/2 lengths.

Beholder will be a good 2nd, Dortmund 3rd.

I would add this to the "good news" in the other hand! I am over the moon.

I'd like to see Karula (78) come down from EMD.

Also, I do like Theonewewaitedfor though apparently her Beyers aren't that great.
