Race 6 The Frontrunner for 2YOs

Easy enough to just say Baffert historically owns this race and single KLIMT at even money or so.
BUT.....
1.  GORMLEY won at first asking for the historically patient Shirreff barn, so he could be anything at 8/1
2.  PLUM DANDY only horse in the field with success at two turns already, Smith at the controls 6/1
4.  MIDNIGHT PLEASURE comes from the young Shelbe Ruis barn, you could bet ALL her horses and show a big profit so far!

So that leaves us with the 5 and 7, STRAIGHT FIRE the second choice at 9/5 and VIBE the longest shot on the board at 20/1.
Both of these horses come from the Desormeaux barn and Kent has ridden all 5 times for his brother, 3x on STRAIGHT FIRE and twice on VIBE.
STRAIGHT FIRE earned his favoritism by breaking his maiden winning by 10 lengths then favored but running 2nd to KLIMT in the DM Futurity.
VIBE on the other hand is still a maiden, but he ran behind PLUM DANDY in a mile race, making them the only two in here to try 2 turns so far.

Before I step up to the windows and unload my bankroll on the conspiracy theory that the brothers ain't no dummies, and Kent already had a $50 winner at the meet yesterday, does anybody here know how Prat got the mount on STRAIGHT FIRE?
Thanks.


stark

They say there are no dumb questions, so I've got one more....

Anybody know if DORTMUND has been working in blinkers since the Pacific Classic?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure, I saw him in blinkers during his last work.

Zenyatta

My year has been made as the Zenyatta connections win the Frontrunner with Gormley. In my 2 year old thread, I picked him as my Derby horse. That hasn't changed.

As for Klimt, bummer, dude. While Secret House was declared a non-starter, he got out of the way fast enough to not impede any of the other horses.

Man o Taz

He was my pick. Love the connections. Hopefully he continues moving forward. Is he going to the BC Juvenile?
