Bob and John (# 7) - May have the worst name in the field, but has the best breeding to handle this extended route distance being a son of Seeking The Gold out of a Deputy Minister mare. Bob Baffert trainee ships in from southern California and has won 2 of 3 races since becoming a 3-year-old, including his most powerful effort in the Sham Stakes where he looked great late when covering today's 1 1/8 miles. A perfect stalking trip right behind the leaders sets up his Wood Memorial win.
