Hoping International Star runs well, no betting on him just a watching brief.

This race did one thing, flatter Materiality after Stanford ran a huge race. Take nothing away from NY bred International Star and his 98 beyer, but apples to apples, this group is far behind the Florida Derby top two. Here's the replay. TJ

Mr. Z maybe didn't lug out, but he sure lugged back.
