War Emblem is going to the Haskell, finally
A P Valentine writes, "The defection of Came Home had a great deal
to do with their coming back into the race. Didn't want to get into
a speed duel off a fairly long break. Also cracks me up that Baffert
is getting $50,000 just for going. Doesn't he have enough money?"

"You" was impressive today!
EARLY11 writes, "You sure spotted a filly with a lot of heart. She
broke poorly, was shuffled back, had to split horses and then went
through a tight opening on the rail. That was an amazing finish! I
wonder how much that took out of her. I also wonder what her near
future holds in store, because the older fillies and mares like
Azeri and Summer Colony will be too tough around two turns. Still,
she is some nice filly and that was a great race!"
