kentucky derby

Nah

Eskendereya earned a 106 and 109 beyer in his last two starts. Oh yeah, they were both under wraps. They were also the two best beyers of the projected field. Something flukey has to happen to beat this horse and in the Derby, that can happen. However my tri will start something like this: Eskendereya, Lookin at Lucky/?????/????? I love Johnnie V and I think Pletcher breaks through. Eskendereya looks the part and could become the next superstar. So in theory I see Eskendereya drawing off in the stretch, Johnnie V looking back for competition and seeing a bunch of jockeys :beatdeadhorse:

Well there goes that...

Eskendereya Out

So you know someone that works for TAP or were you just guessing. I can't imagine you noticed he was hurting when he was blowing out the last two fields. This changes everything. TAP is now talking about entering the filly. You might get more of a price on Lucky than you think. Hell Big Brown went off 5/2. Most of your casual Derby bettors will look and see Sidney's Candy beat him last time, and they have no idea of how much trouble Gomez got him into.

I always put so e on a grey because I love them. Now I just have to figure out who

OK, that makes sense. I don't really put a lot of stock in the works leading up to the Derby, so i didn't know he kept pushing them back. Well, at least they are putting the horse first in this. With TAP being 0-24 he could have been selfish, had the horse burn up the pace for one of his others. I'm going to have to get to work on this, I've been on Eskendreya for months now, and now I guess, like everyone else, I'm leaning towards lucky. Should be an interesting week.

Yes, I'm in Lexington, No, I'm not going. I go tailgate at Keeneland next to the track Kitchen. Eat and drink my own stuff, walk inside the kitchen to bet, and have big screens up at the RV. Usually about 30 of us there. As far as Dublin goes, I'm out. My uncle has an interest in the horse and was really excited about him coming back from the lung issue, however his last 2 haven't been impressive to me. I am going to have to rework everything. I'm like you, I go watch all of the prep races and use that instead of the charts. I'm also a HUGE beyer fig guy for the derby. Of all of the derbys since War Emblem, the only winner not to have top 5 beyer numbers is that pig Mine That Bird. Even Giaccamo was top 5.

but glad that Jackson bend may get in

Wasn't he sitting at 21? That should lock him in. I'm sure we will talk this week. BTW, don't forget I have that Program hook up.

Well, hell. Sometimes I hate how loyal I am. Dublin blew the turn this morning and was fighting with his rider :( if it was just a slow work I'd be ok because he worked great last week, but I think he's just gone nuts. Wonder if he'll even make it around the track? I'll still keep him in with lucky, just need 3 more for my box.

And I really hope backtalk gets in and gives Miguel a derby mount

Si :) poor alydar. Thinking about him makes me sad
