I always love looking at pedigrees, just looking at this year’s crew. MDO is the sire of sire for Forte and Instant Coffee, and the broodmare sire of National Treasure and Hejazi.

I don’t get why Hejazi is on any Derby list, as much as I love Bernardini. Must be his price tag.

Perhaps because of his connections, which is ironic.

Any 3 year old trained by the usual great trainer will find his way on lists even if they aren’t deserving...
