Imagine being worth a billion dollars (at least) and being excited about running a fair turf horse in the KY Derby? How can anyone talk about the top 2 going to the Derby without at least laughing? Their dirt records are abysmal.

Well Twinspired only has like 197,000 so he is questionable especially with Asmussen saying Silver Medallion might run next week

LOL two no shot horses battling for that last spot...

tjfla 04-16-2011 05:12 PM
The last spot may end up being Santiva with $242,000

Depends on what happens in Ark Derby

Thanks guys. He's all grass though. Thought he may transfer some luck to the Poly!

Mike 04-16-2011 05:17 PM
Oh, it needn't be the only two for that lost spot. We got the Lexington (gotta love the synth!) and the Jerome (on dirt). Silver Medallion and Mr. Commons can still sneak in

Nice job, guys. Looking at the pedigree, his 2nd dam is a full sister to Touch Gold, half to With Approval. I don't suppose he's magically developed an affinity for dirt since age 2, has he? I feel like I'm tilting at windmills when I get hopeful about there being a G1 caliber, ungelded son of Dynaformer that likes dirt (besides Barbaro obviously) and doesn't get sold overseas.

Ms. Webber isnt selling .. Dynaformer gets plenty of dirt winners and to tag him as a turf only stallion is not correct. If you listened to Nathan Fox on ATR's on Friday he outlined Dynaformers success very well. That doesnt mean that Chuck is wrong about Brilliant Speed being a turfer just that Dynaformer can produce any type.

Chuck if she doesnt get excited about winning the Blue Grass and taking a shot in a few weeks whats the point of breeding and race?
