I don’t think either are serious contenders.

Wouldn’t be shocked, but I doubt it.

That was a pathetic race.

Also back in the VA derby i was so happy to see Lukas make one of his other former “derby contenders” look like a third rate PARX claimer

Before there was Winx I was setting alarms for Black Caviar.

Almond eye too, though not Australian.

I'm getting ready to see Baffert in his $5k custom silk suit walking around Churchill Downs meeting and greeting people. He is the event to me. Its not a Derby without him.

Like him too. Was glad to see him get his big moment last year with the Derby and Oaks winners.

He’s also a fellow UK fan and threw Ls down with a picture with Pat Kelsey (UofL basketball coach) on the backside this week.

Owen about to be a vet scratch. American promise looked more sound today, but he was definitely off yesterday.

One of my oaks picks scratched

So it wasn’t a derby pre 96? What happens when he dies? He’s getting up there and that whole final destination thing will get him one day…

Same thing that happened when Muhammad Ali retired from Boxing. Heavyweight Boxing went into a dark period for years. Nobody cared.

Baffert is THE attraction no matter how hard you try to say otherwise. I also like D Wayne Lucas. Two titans of the sports and it won't be the same when either is gone.

Wow. We should let calumet farm know they were nothing.

This board’s favorite secretariat too. And even slew.

Derby was beyond fine the last 3 years and your prince got booed so loudly at the draw (by fans) it could be heard over the livestream. Lukas is a staple, but he’s running a lame horse this year. The sport will be better with baffert gone. He’s also helping put the nail in Cali racing’s coffin.

You’re a fricking idiot

Well damn, i've got him in a couple of bets. Hopefully he runs a good race. Dude has a sick bloodline.
