I decided not to try to, you know, make the schlep to Saratoga.
Well, I got the seventh-place finisher from the Kentucky Derby, Commandment.
He's under the radar, 6-1 on the morning line.
He came into the Derby with four wins in a row and then just got an awful ride from his jockey, Luis Saez.
So trainer Brad Cox is switching jockeys, bringing John Velasquez, the, the biggest earner of jockeys in, in world history, actually.
And he's won the Belmont a couple of times, not at Saratoga yet, but, uh,
there's not been that much opportunity to do so.
But this is a horse who really just did not get his way with a good ride in the Derby, and so I'm looking at him to come back.
And I also think he's not as pace-dependent as, say, Renegade, so I'll look forward to him coming through for me and making up for the fact that I didn't have the Derby and the Preakness, but Andy Byers certainly had the Preakness and good for him.
Problem is the Kentucky Derby is a mile and a quarter.
He looked like a horse who could go a mile and an eighth.
And that was what you have happened an awful lot of times with Kentucky Derby horse, that extra furlong that they've never gone before.
That ends up being where the rubber meets the road.
And in his case, it didn't.
And that was what happened.
He just gassed out and, uh,
Also, maybe just how much work he had to do leading up to the race.
And that was that.
That's part of the build for it.
That's part of the challenge.
