Silver Charm

Maybe more like Charismatic....Note the the three 8\'s then the jump to the paired 3\'s. This is a reach no doubt but it was interesting hearing jockey Nakatani after the Pimlico Sprint aboard Hamazing Destiny that they all but \"Saved\" the horse in the CD Handicap because they thought they were in too tough and isnt at his best going 7. Hmmmmmm

Didnt someone post before the Derby that Dullahan wasnt really as stamina loaded as his running style might appear. Please help!!

Lukas pre Preakness said he was using the race as a prep for the Belmont given Optimizer\'s bloodlines and we\'ve seen with him in the past spacing is meaningless.

I might use him as a clunk up for the bottom of something nothing more.

Dull and UR both make sense with the way they are coming up to the race.I have a hard time liking Dull at 12f\'s and UR is gonna be an even shorter price to guess at him liking the trip.

Just shopping for value in a race with a history of big jump ups, Xs and otherwise freaky outcomes.

I liked Dullahan in the Derby but he sure looked like he hung given the fast paced 10 furlongs.

Not sure why the connections are confident he will love another quarter of a mile.

Awfully short JR, more like 50/1 & strictly a suck up 3rd or 4th on tri and super tickets ONLY.

Hope you\'re right and the black swan flies again.
