His son, Riley, trains Incredible, who finished sixth in the Kentucky Derby.
He's a come-from-behind horse in a field full of a lot of speed horses, so he was an 11th-hour entry, and I actually like him to win the race.
And I think Ocelli, who came from the clouds at 70-1 to finish third, still a maiden.
I think he can hit the board.
And Robusta, who finished 16th, I think actually could win this at a big price, but I'm just going to include him on my tickets.
But it all comes down to my key horse, Incredibolt, on Saturday to win the Preakness.
It was fantastic.
Thanks very much for that.
And look forward to, hey, wait till next year, right?
Early betting, he is still the favorite, but it's going to waffle a little bit because he drew...
The dreaded one hole.
And if you want to talk about Nigel trying to get his convertible around anywhere, I think the only place where there's worse traffic than the one hole in the Kentucky Derby is around Columbia Country Club.
I think those are the only two places on earth you're going to find bad traffic coming out of an inside post.
And that's where Renegades got.
I think what's going to happen is bettors are going to look at that as more money pours in and is the horse good enough to overcome that.
And even trainer Todd Pletcher said...
He had gotten the word about where the draw was while he was flying, and the moment he heard he was in the one, he reached for the air sickness bag.
So that's how they feel about it, and that is going to be one of the big storylines coming up this week.
Well, the problem is he's kind of a tweener.
