Looks like will be able to get one or two path if they want it. Last was a good enough number to be in the discussion, and with trouble at that.
Three races, two good sized jump ups. Odds have come down interestingly. Will get a read from Prioritize in an earlier race.
Could definitely sit a trip and if he has one more forward move he’ll be right there. I see him and Major Fed both being close(r) to the front. Especially after the latter’s last two works. Save ground and get the jump on Tiz, & Honor AP,Tucking in behind Authentic, STC, and NY Traffic hoping they back up while those two grind along and get the distance. At least that’s how I see the shape setting up.
I think one or both of STC and NYT will be inclined to press Authentic, but he still should get an easy lead and slow it down. I just don’t think there will be enough pace for anyone coming From well off of it to factor in the win.
Why should we believe Authentic will get the distance? Seemed to tire late in the Haskell...breeding doesn\'t scream distance....Baffert lost both his races yesterday, one with a filly who clearly didn\'t get the distance.....I get Authentic looks juicy with fast numbers and lone speed..but I question the distance. Would need a good price to get my money.
