not playing any horse coming out of derby as I want somebody fresh and figure-wise this is a slow group
bourbon war
$410k weanling purchase.. must've been some kind of buzz about him to pay that much before he's a year old.. 5 career races.. 2 wins and a close 2nd when he wasn't pace compromised..he ran a figure in the remsen as a 2yo at 1 1/8 miles that was as good as most of these and more importantly he was closing into a pace that was 7-8 lengths slow which is very tough to overcome.. the pace he was closing into in his last race (florida derby) was even slower (about 12 lengths below par) as I've mentioned before in my thread not too long ago.. only two races he's run fresh he's won.. breaking his maiden first out and his 3yo debut.. btw the layoff from the remsen to his 3yo debut was 48 days.. the layoff from his last race in the florida derby to the date of the preakness will be 49 days
