Change your profile picture to a 20ish blonde waitress.

I do have a nice set of sausage tits.

Is he sending Tiger Woods a friend request?

You really don't think he's special? You sure treat him like he is a special person.

Deservedly so.

Yep....he hired me a few weeks ago.
I thought stating that everything he says isn't "automatically wrong" just because he is the one saying it was a nice, conservative way to get started on the job.

I guess not. Too much too soon.

Perhaps I should have started even more conservatively and said something like..."hey he's bound to be at least partially right one of these days, right?" Either way, I plan to execute this assignment so wonderfully that DrugS is facebooking him for handicapping tips by the middle of June.

I don't necessarily disagree, and this horse doesn't strike me as a likely Derby contender. And you are right that calling him a "complete" wild card was probably a bit of an overstatement by my client.
But I still think the point about a horse who appears as if he might possibly be an improving 3yo on dirt making his last derby prep over synthetic being something of an unknown quantity if he runs in the Derby is a reasonable enough point.

"Might" be improving? As was pointed out (by the same poster who seems to be completely perplexed by the horse's form), the horse went from a 78 Beyer in his final 2yo start to a 91 in his 3yo debut.

I suppose an open length victory, in a major prep race, on a natural dirt surface, with a triple digit Beyer will ram the point home; but what would that do to the horse's price on Derby Day?

Seriously....? Shouldn't the Illinois Derby either lose its graded status, or be moved to Arlington during the summer or...something?

I can't believe anyone pointing to the SA Derby or AK derby didn't think twice about shipping here for this spot. Even Anthony's Cross (didn't Harty win it last year with the legendary American Lion)?

Will this the year the Blue Grass mercifully loses its GI status?

They'll never do it...After yesterday, maybe the Florida Derby should as well.

I can't remember what turf writer suggested in a column/article last year that only dirt graded earnings should count for Derby entrance, but I'm all for it. Then again, a gang of money was plowed into Stately Victor last year, which isn't entirely a bad thing.

Which race, the Illinois Derby, Santa Anita Derby or Wood, has most recently seen it's winner come back to win the Ky Derby?

It's 5 weeks out from the Derby. The last two years, the consensus favorite didn't make the gate.

And horses can come from anywhere and get real good real fast. If it weren't for Rachel A, Dunkirk and Summer Bird, Mine That Bird might be a Triple Crown winner.

What about Shackelford?

I like all the preps. Line them up and let them run.

Its only 300k, so winning the race doesn't guarantee you a spot in the Derby.

It will be a bad race

I know I may be reaching here, but after one dismal prep after another, is it even remotely possible the Arkansas Derby will be the best prep? :o

Ya but the Wood has the derby winner in it :)

Not that I think he has a chance (at this point), but The Factor's triple-digit Beyers are somewhat refreshing when looking through the 30 or so top contenders.

If some ailment were to sideline Uncle Mo between now and the Derby... wouldn't that make for an interesting scenario? A lot of $$$ would be on Dialed In (who would come in a fast closing 2nd or 3rd) and The Factor would have to be a super horse to contend with the pretenders that would hound him all the way on the lead. Who, then:zz:

Premier Pegasus.

Tackleberry.

The first to pull off the elusive Charles Town Classic - Met Mile sweep.

Im looking forward to seeing ArchArchArch run again...growing on me a little bit

Baffert's Midnight Interlude to run in the S.A. Derby.

Great name, used to be a sex club in NYC

Premier Pegasus...OUT!!!!!

Shoot!

What happened?

Jaycito scared him off.

Well, as long as he wasn't hurt, I'm glad.

How come this wasn't reported anywhere?

Hairline fracture...report is on bloodhorse

Hossy!!!

That little fugger lied to me.

By the way, is he going to recover in time for the Derby?

Out for 4 months.

For a fracture!?

That's ridiculous!

Back in the day, that horse would have been laid up a week or two, aimed to the Derby Trial, and wheeled right back!

Is Astrology still in the Arkansas Derby? I didn't see his name in an article on the race, and you don't have him on the graded earnings list as going.

If he does run, at gets a Beyer of over 90, I'm pretty sure he's the Kentucky Derby winner. The middle move followed by the hang job in the Sunland Park Derby was a dead give away.

Will have to contend with R Heat Lightning, however.

I'm following Astrology closely, wish I knew if he were in the Ark. Derby, he did have a 5 furlong workout at S.A in 1:00 and 4/5th's today. If he doesn't go this Saturday in the Ark. Derby, at least this gives hope he's still on the Derby trail and will prep in a different race

from drf on the arkansas derby:

http://www.drf.com/news/arkansas-der...ng-13-starters


HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Alternation on Monday was committed to the Grade 1, $1 million Arkansas Derby – making for a prospective field of 13 – while a little later the same morning probables Brethren, Dance City and Truman’s Commander arrived in town from Florida.

The Arkansas Derby will be run on Saturday, on the final card of the Oaklawn Park meet. Entries for the race are Wednesday. The maximum field size is 14. Others expected to start as of Monday were Archarcharch, Caleb’s Posse, Elite Alex, J P’s Gusto, J W Blue, Nehro, Saratoga Red, Sway Away, and The Factor.

I like Archarcharch in the Arkansas Derby.He finished well, behind The Factor and is bred to run a bit.

The whole field was well behind The Factor in the Rebel.
