We can tell you he's not high on Lone Sailor, saying the runner-up to Core Beliefs in the Ohio Derby doesn't even hit the board at the Haskell Invitational He led for a bit in the stretch of each of his last two starts, but didn't finish the deal.
Lone Sailor ran eighth in the Kentucky Derby and was fifth out of just eight horses in the Preakness at Pimlico. Instead, Demling is extremely high on a major long shot that would net any backer a massive payday. He's including him in his trifecta and superfecta bets, and so should you. The result: Justify sloshed to victory over Good Magic in the rain and mud by two-and-a-half lengths. Then, he called Justify repeating at the Preakness despite an injured heel and sloppy conditions -- which is exactly what happened.
He also cashed the Pick 4, Pick 5 and Pick 6 at Pimlico this year. He followed that up by pegging Justify as the horse to beat at the Belmont, and we all know what happened. Now that the Haskell Invitational lineup is set, Goldberg released his picks, predictions, and exotic bets over at SportsLine. One horse Goldberg wants no part of: Core Beliefs, who's listed at He's in over his head. The 3-year-old division, with Triple Crown winner Justify having been retired last Wednesday, was looking for someone to take charge headed into the second half of the year and Good Magic, who has never been worse than fourth in eight career starts and either first or second in six of those starts, may have done that with Sunday's performance.
We expected a big performance,'' said Good Magic's trainer Chad Brown, who had four winners on Sunday's card, including two stakes wins, on NBC right after the race. Roaming Union, a long shot led the field of seven through fractions of Good Magic, breaking from the No. I thought the two horse Navy Commander a shot had a little more speed,'' Ortiz said.
However, truthfully, Good Magic, the favorite, probably could have wired this field if Brown and Ortiz had chosen that route.. The trip was the polar opposite of the trip the son of two-time Horse of the Year Curlin got in the Preakness in the mud and fog at Pimlico on May Sunday, Good Magic got to sit just off a hopeless long shot.
He took the lead with minimal urging, and the race was over but for the shouting at that point. Lone Sailor Jockey: Joe Bravo. Trainer: Tom Amoss. Owner: G M B Racing. Notable achievements and interesting facts: This colt profiles as the only deep closer in the Haskell field, which is mainly comprised of stalkers and pace-pressing types.
He will need swift fractions to set up his come-from-behind kick and may not get it, as Monmouth is a speed-favoring track and horses such as Bravazo, Core Beliefs, and even Good Magic have shown the ability to race near the lead and still pack enough punch to finish well.
His best career efforts have come this year, in the Grade 2 Twinspires. A note of caution, however: in both of those races, Lone Sailor led briefly in the stretch but could not close the deal. Lone Sailor ships to Monmouth off of a bullet half-mile workout in Jockey: Angel Arroyo. Trainer: Robert Reid Jr.
He should provide some early speed in the Haskell for horses such as Bravazo and Core Beliefs to track behind, but anything more than that would be a major surprise.
