And Mage had a perfect trip. You can see it in the first 300 yards just how perfect it was.

[@fgyuighjhvuhhgggjihm]

@@question_it_701 You must have been watching the wrong horse. Mage broke poorly, was quickly last, took a ton of dirt in the face, was forced to go 5 wide around the 1st turn, then circled the field five wide throughout. It was his 3rd lifetime start, and his trip will most likely having him getting a lower fig than Forte. Forte is the champ, but Mage ran at least as good a race as Forte, probably better, and will improve more.

Now the last couple days...I saw info that Practical Move ran the fastest 1 1/16th mile prep AND the fastest 1 1/8 mile prep of all of derby horses, and it was by a wide margin.

[@mannylopez7642]

The next triple crown winner, that horse is a super horse!!

[@marysueeasteregg]

Being a super horse doesn't guarantee winning the Triple Crown. I doubt very much this horse is as good as either Native Dancer or Spectacular Bid, the two greatest horses to win 2/3 of the Triple Crown but who lost one of the three. (The Derby for ND, his only loss, and the Belmont for Bid.) Both have been ranked in the 10 greatest U.S. Thoroughbreds of the 20th century. Look at Spectacular Bid's Florida Derby win, where he won going away after one of the world's most terrible rides. THAT was a super horse. Forte is obviously a very good horse. Off his current record, he deserves to be the Derby favorite. I doubt he is a super horse.

[@buyystocks]

[@depalma13]

Mage ran a monster race. The type of turn move and flattening in the stretch but still running the final eighth in 12 and one fifth proves he is a very serious racehorse. If he figures out the start, He is going to be a major force this year.

[@Equalizer241]

@Christopher Elmore Individuals don't realize is that 20 horses in a field is far different than 8 to 10 horses. You draw that outside post that's traveling. You draw the inside post. You could get pinched at the rail and get sent way back slowing the horse down to maybe never being able to recover. 20 horse field is no joke.

[@lfc63]

Forte gobbles up the ground. I think this year's derby will be a good one. There are several contenders this year. It's all about the trip. The last derby Strike It Rich got an incredible ride. May God Bless all the contenders for a safe clean race.

Mage went to early he had a lot of horse saez should of waited till forte made his move going into the stretch he wouldn't of seen him coming

[@bconigliaro]

Impressive. Forte was heavily lathered by the time he entered the gate, thus the coat of dirt he wore at the end. And none of the commentators mentioned how Forte was trying to turn his head around 180 degrees while in the gate; the assistant starter must have arms like Popeye. Powerful move in the last 100 yards.
