I steadfastly maintain Happy Boy isn't a bum.

Even though he got hurt after his one monster win over the track last year .. which was very legit ... and Godolphin bought him and tried to ruin him by sending him to Europe.

He's actually run a couple of half way decent races in a row and his form is starting to come back from the grave. 30/1 on the ML .. and there is no way in hell anyone's finding that horse appealing besides me. I'm going to be a rich man after they run that race.

Casino Drive like dirt and should like the sloppy the track that is all but guaranteed. His early Beyer of 102 and most recent Post rating of 120 put him as high if not higher in both those categories, considering his brevity of races and potential room for continued improvement
Still, I may box him with My Indy

Godolphin's first win on Dubai World Cup night since 2006. Could be a great night for them!

I am looking for a big win by DESERT PARTY here...just to possibly make the KY Derby that much more interesting....

brockguy 03-28-2009 09:24 AM

2 Derby horses for Godolphin? both absolutely miles clear of the 3rd..

Travis Stone 03-28-2009 09:29 AM

I have always thought Desert Party was good, but overrated.

Anyone remember last year on AM Saratoga when Kiaran McLaughin said Regal Ranson who had yet to start was "his best 2-year-old?"

ntamm1215 and I drafted him in our fantasy stable based off that only to watch him tank out west. And of course today, I have zero on his nose to win.

ArlJim78 03-28-2009 09:32 AM

lets hope they both run in the derby.

They will.

Desert Party will be 22-1.
Regal Ransom will be 35-1.

Did the announcer continue to call Gayego "Gay Ego" in the GODOLPHIN MILE? They showed his sprint win there, and he kept calling him that all the way to the wire.

brockguy 03-28-2009 10:01 AM

Brilliant from former US sprinter Big City Man. I love this guy, watch out for the nice tackle he does mid race to the horse on his right!!

Travis Stone 03-28-2009 10:11 AM

Congrats to LAD regular rider Jose Verenzuela as well!!!

The Indomitable DrugS 03-28-2009 10:17 AM

Edgar Prado put on his typical masterpiece on Indian Blessing. Even though his numbers are mind-bogglingly bad with speed sprinters ... he's normally a very good gate rider ... he got IB totally left at the start and had to rush up the outside fense on a track that has been looking pretty kind to the inside.

He's about the only rider in the country skilled enough to suck the life out of Fabulous Strike and get him to run a 65 pace figure going 7fs after a good break. Clever move by Baffert naming him.

Not if YOU owned one of the "woodchucks".

First off, I never realized it was pronounced Gay Ego, either

Isn't Alexandros being forgotten here in the 5th?
