Will J P's Gusto still move on to the Derby (he has enough earnings) and keep the blinkers while employing the same pace tactics he employed today?

He was 33 to 1 today and should be a higher price in the Derby (even with all the stupid money that gets bet on the Derby).

Time for everyone to get off the Elite Alex bandwagon.

Calvin Borel will now need a mount for the Derby.

Per DRF, Baffert said immediately following the race that it appeared The Factor displaced his palate.

Would like to see him move on to the Derby as he will take some money.

And he really knocked it out of the park. As they turn for home, he says of the tiring pacesetter: "Toby the Coal Man is still trying to hang on there in third."

Just saying....

I have to use the mute most of the races at Oaklawn.

Twin Spires sucked all day as well.

Well, how long does a horse like this need to get over a displaced palate? Does it require surgery? Can he still make the Derby?

It's a classic excuse from the alibi breakfest. Right up there with "the track was too cuppy"

JP's Gusto's best game is going 5.5 to 7 furlongs - his dam was a turf sprinter - I'm sure they'll remove the blinkers and a cutback to synthetic sprints will be his goal.

Archarcharch won 2/3's of Oaklawn's Derby preps and was 3rd in the Rebel after getting beat up in the gate prior to the Rebel. He broke his maiden in a non graded Stakes race going 6F. He has natural speed and he can close plus he has a nose for the wire.

On May 7th if Archarcharch is 10-1 and Dialed In is 3-1 who do wager on?

hockey2315 04-17-2011 12:15 AM
Nehro (even though he'll be a total wise guy horse).

Nehro can finish strong. He's a legit horse. He's improving with every race and I think that's what you want to see with a horse entering the Derby.

I think Archarcharch and Nehro are stronger finshers than Dialed In who will probably be the Derby favorite.

Wasnt that what led to MF's downfall eventually?

Indian Charlie 04-17-2011 01:20 AM
LOL.

I think this is my first time buzzed reading DT at night.

I kinda see why Team Komodo does this sort of thing.
