holy crap. i thought it was a joke when i saw the thread.

just a few weeks ago, we were talking about how some of the horses this year seemed pretty good.
now we're going to have a field with not ONE grade one winner on dirt in the field. the race is shaping up to be a sad shadow of what we were looking towards not very long ago. now i really wish rachel alexandra had run here. the three best 3 yo's we've got, and none in the race.


but i can't help wondering just exactly what is going on-esp considering the trainer. something not going to clear post-race? did the owners end up paying the price because they didn't take heed from the gato go win fiasco?

Well - my gimmie I Want Revenge over Quality Road exacta with a long gap back to 3rd from ten days ago is going as swimmingly as my Rachel Alexandra over Justwhistle Dixie exacta with a long gap to 3rd went yesterday.

3 of the 4 scratched!

On ESPN now.

ESPN says at Dr Foster flexed the ankle, horse not 100%. Mullins says heat in ankle, Factors in weather, sealed track...

Ankle issue.

you curse, you.

No Air Power today.

There are 19 other horses entered folks.....although this does reminds me of the morning of the '92 Derby when AP Indy scratched.

I guess IEAH's bid for Rachel Alexandria just went up by about 10 million.

I do hope IWR is OK. This really takes the flavor out of the day for me.

I have no freakin' clue what to do with the race.

I didn't see that in his post. I suppose you think it's a good derby?

it doesn't for me. i was trying to reconcile myself to those guys in the winners circle again this year. that combined with mullins--ugh.
now, we don't have to worry about that.

I know a lot of people don't like him but you have to feel bad for Talamo

Do the horses outside of 13 move over? That doesn't seem fair to the horses who picked outside the main gate and inside the aux gate.

Back to the drawing board. My question is how does this affect the pick three (oaks, wood and derby) tickets

I SHED A TEAR for mullins.

Ya guess I'll just move on over to Atomic Rain or Join in the Dance

i don't. not one.

:tro:

Karma is certainly a beatch.......I hate to see any horse get hurt, but Mullins is a putz of all time.
