If it were 2 years ago and the race was 7/8ths sure

Glad the Santa Anita derby was close. Both horses got a lot out of it

Rebel seems most likely. Hasn't raced since November.. I'm guessing Arkansas Derby a month after that? but then that leaves only 3 weeks before the Derby ..

Gemologist in the Rebel as well I think. And watch out if Secret Circle gets in that field. He loves the Oaklawn track. Apparently it's running pretty slow and rough.. any horse that wins in solid time at OP is a fit colt.


look who called that shite

I'm still proud of calling rags, Hansen, and cause early in the summer.

You gonna bet the smarty colt (isn't he clever)?

And I LOVED alpha's wood.

Not sure what I'm going to do yet. I like IHC but he seems to be inconsistent. Last six races he's finished 1,2,1,4,1,2. Guess he's due at Oaklawn but that Arkansas Derby field looks really tough. I'd put him in most exotics though. Pletcher is sending Heavy Breathing there as well (makes it a field of 12).

Another no-name up in Illinois. He looked impressive but that field was weak. Very Joe Vann-esh.

Blue Grass this weekend. Get another look at Hansen.

I kinda like dullahan (or whatever his name is) in there.

We've got a filly in at keeneland Friday, but they just sent her up with pessin.

Got my plane ticket to derby! Force freeze bowed. Sad to see that for such a nice horse, but it may help ours in the handicap.

I really like him and hope he can come back.

No way of knowing who enters til they do.

Liaison is one with the earning that might not enter. These are just projections.

You also can't bet til they draw pps

You've got my 2 bets (opt, dul) in there.

Love the change to court. Seems to fit the horse well.

Our keeneland filly ran 3rd in a 3 way photo

Stupid nose. James said when she heard the crowd she freaked she didn't get anything like that here at fg.

Btw, you have the exact tri I'll be playing for the bluegrass.

Oh, and my filly is knocked up!!!!

I'm just telling you now, if they let Hansen up front early he may win by 20. The track favors speed and stalkers, and you have to do something really special to come from the clouds.

No, but I've also never liked him, so what do I know

They said to look for something "surprising" in the paddock

Nope, yesterday.

She got the bad head bob on a 3 way photo to end up 3rd. Nice master command filly.

Just hit the Jenny Wiley. Prob only race I'll get to see today. Mom is all excited because she's there and I told her to bet daisy Devine too.
