Musket Man has enough earnings and also ran last on the 14th. Forget it, just train up to the Derby.

Win Willy has enough earnings and also ran last on the 14th. Forget it, just train up to the Derby.

Old Fashioned has enough earnings and also ran last on the 14th. F*ck it, just train up to the Derby with him too.

barbero had some time off before his romp

same five weeks Big Brown had.

Bobby Fischer 03-31-2009 09:19 PM
obviously jokes but

Win Willy actually should train up to the Derby IMO.

Sell him , and get him to the gate.

I think he could flop in the Arkansas Derby

While I think it is a questionable decision to try to run 1 1/4 without a 1 1/8th prep, the 7 weeks thing isnt that big of a deal anymore. While it hasnt been done there are virtually no real contenders that ever even tried. With the light training schedules and spacing of races, it will happen eventually. The 3/16th stretchout would concern me more than the 7 weeks.

is the derby trial just a joke now ..with the way the breed is nowdays
if you win that thing your up the track next week..maybee dutrow could put

I just heard Street Hero is coming out of retirement and going to Larry Jones who's going to just train him up to the Derby, "because he's had a tough campaign mounting mares and needs to be fresh for the biggest race of his life".

It has been some time since real contneders raced in the DT. I believe it used to be held on the Tuesday before the Derby.

That is one crooked horse. His legs might snap if Jones ever got on him.

I think the last horse to win the DT and a TC race was Creme Fraiche?

it was a different type of race and a great chance to carry form forward for a closer.

The Blue Grass could easily be a grueling race this year, nothing like the race SS ran in. It could cause a horse like Friesan Fire to lose momentum.
Huh?

Back to back years in the early 90s the Derby Trial winner placed in the Preakness.
