Re: GR III Illinois Derby
Midnight Hawk looks very tough to beat in here. Class Leader is a 1/2 to GR I winner Student Council, gets bad post? Dynamic Impact on the improve and gets a good post. King Cyrus and Global Strike, both Pletcher?

Re: GR III Illinois Derby
Midnight Hawk for the win, no doubt. I hope they lay off him after this and freshen him.
Re: GR III Illinois Derby
Here's the finish, hopefully Midnight Hawk gets a break from the Derby....he is a 1 1/16th horse at best. TJ

Re: GR III Illinois Derby
I agree. He really tries hard, but they should lay off him, freshen him, and bring him back for the Swaps.
