The possible deluge didn’t happen. Decent ground evidently.

The story of today’s grass races at SAR is - can they really conduct them? Course already playing many lengths slow late Fri in the NY (time more than 9 seconds of track record) and since has been absolutely soaked again, with, evidently, hours more coming.

It’s really only going to come down who best copes with extreme conditions in Manhattan, Jaipur, Pennine Ridge

And Delacroix is even-money on the tote with 25 minutes to post!

Powerhouse Derby win from Lambourn. Set a good pace, never challenged, won by several lengths. Strong fave Delacroix never got a sniff.

I think Kevin Blake putting up that tricast for the Derby is the most remarkable thing I have seen in 25 years in this game. Winner was showing as a decent result in our main book, so we were kind of high fiving, but when forecasts and tricasts settled = a v heavy loss.

Highway Robber has been scratched from the Manhattan Stakes.

Due to the soft turf, Tom’s Magic isn’t running today, and will likely come back for the Penn Mile at Penn National later this month.

If they'd taken MTOs for the Manhattan it would've helped Brad H. Cox Racing separate his dozens of graded-stakes class older dirt-route runners.

FWIW despite good ground that was the 4th slowest Derby in the 2000s. Tote odds on 2nd - 8th finishers: 54-1 42-1 66-1 18-1 48-1 90-1 67-1

In addition to being what seems to be a multiple Classic winner well above par, Sovereignty has to be one of the great value propositions recent Triple Crown history. All available evidence - save Journalism "vibes" - pointed him out as the winner of this race.

This is the best 🥹

Sovereignty a 109 Beyer for Belmont

Raging Torrent 106. Book’em Danno 102. Patch Adams 99. Nitrogen 91. AP Kid 84.

Chunk of Gold scratched from Matt Winn because he’s going, as was the general plan, to the Ohio Derby, per trainer E West. Connex entered to take a look, as te saying goes.
