People are talking about all the speed in the Derby... 12 of the 14 fillies were either on the lead or within 2 lengths of the pace at the first call in their most recent prep. Already looking hard at Jemima's Pearl. 10-1 ML... Baffert/Talamo....ran a deceptively good race in the Fantasy where she made progress in the stretch despite chasing quality lone speed in Mamma Kimbo, another Baffert runner who was in off a sharp MSW win. Gotta think this one will love the extra 1/8th of a mile and the longer stretch.

Horse has continued to improve in every start and has been extremely wide last two starts. Gomez is one of the best around at working a trip and I think she'll win at 8-1/12-1

Heard Jone's horse Believe you can looking awfully good at CD. I like these: Believe You Can, On Fire Baby, Grace Hall, and Eden's Moon. Summer Applause is a gift at anything close to 15-1 gl johnny

On fire baby looks like the top selection at 4-1. two for two at churchill downs. Has some nice works. Second time with lasix. Summer Applause looks like she will be coming late at a big price. Not sure she will be anywhere near 15-1 with gomez and the last two beyers of 96,95. Speed was deadly at FG this year and she may have been compromised at the track. Beneath I lean on Grace Hall, J Pearl That is where I currently sit. Lets see if we get a fast track
