I kinda like him too but Tapit's seen to be a bit jittery in the post parade.

Hey aspy! I went to my first derby last year. What a lucky year to go don't you think?
Thanks for your help last year. You're the best!

Nyquist is so impressive so far. Flying cross country to take on monhaymen at his home park and running away with it.

Didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
I've been into the derby and tc since 97. It was an anniversary gift from the wife.
How cool!

Anyway, based on this week's workouts, what's your take on the field?

Kind of a crap shoot derby, though.

I'm getting ready to ride your horse. Got a show next week then a trail competition ( ) the week after.

Nice having one I can do many things with.

I still have no clue. One who has crept onto my radar since he arrived is outwork. Never would have thought twice about him, but his work and gallops have me considering throwing him on some tickets.

You guys not mentioning Exaggerator has me scared and wanting to move off him.

I just am not sure Nyquist is a Derby winner but then again I'm clueless this year. I'm sticking to my guns though on Creator, no greys.

i went to Giacomo's derby but was so plastered i don't even remember arriving to churchill lol. My GF at the time told me aftwares i was running around the infield yelling Giacmo lol. i don't doubt it. I don't like HUGE horse racing days, okaty let me rephrease i don't like the derby day or the preakness day. I like big days, but not so big where people who don't know shite about racing are standing at the window asking the cashier what's a trifecta.

fav racing day is pac classic day. i fly out there every year for that specific day and have for the last 5 years that's my summer vacation

I don't like exaggerator at all, but it may just be me. I don't love Drunkie, but he'll ride well for his brother.

His last race looked better than it was. Everyone STOPPED.

I'd love to go to Del Mar

Gotcha. Trying to put together an office pool and wanted to send out entry forms today. Guess I'll just send them out tomorrow morning with the updated field and opening odds.
