Not that I like Anthony's Cross in the Derby, but it's odd that Harty has raced this horse so sparingly the last few months, considering he figured to barely, if at all, have enough earnings to make the field.
I've wondered if he realized that now he has to get a first or second in the SA Derby to be guaranteed to make it. He does seem like a horse to me that could easily run in the top four in Ky, but he could also run fourth at SA as well. |
Elite Alex turns in serious blinkered drill. Looks like he'll come in hot to Arky Derby next Saturday.

The Lexington's purse was reduced from $300,000 to $200,000 after they got dropped from G2 to G3 so isn't Jaycito the only horse that would have enough graded earnings whether he hits the board or not? I can't remember more than a couple other probables. Unless there's a bubble horse going, the winner's share wouldn't be enough for anybody else. Obviously they want a good race from him. I just know that on the last list, he's 20th.

Albarado is set to ride the workout,so if he goes looks like Robby will be on |

If Jaycito gets to the Lex, he should be a go for Churchill. I see him as the best 10f prospect but I don't like it when a horse has any "blips" along the path. Of course, this year, who knows? It's a complete mess and the distinct lack of starts for most of the more legit horses makes it worse.
|
There will be injuries and defections. In previous years how far down the list did they usually go?
|
Jaycito still hasn't worked and now appears highly doubtful for Lexington..

There goes my Derby colt... Jaycito seems unlike to go this weekend.
|
I said a month or so ago he has not been right in a while.....

Soldat's Kentucky Derby work encourages McLaughlin
By Mike Welsch BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - Fountain of Youth winner Soldat gave every indication he’s bounced out of his disappointing performance in the Grade 1 Florida Derby in good order after zipping five furlongs in 59.07 seconds under absolutely perfect conditions early Thursday morning at Palm Meadows. Breaking off at the half-mile pole, Soldat went his opening quarter-mile in 24.01. He changed leads perfectly while hugging the rail into the stretch then accelerated down the lane, covering his next quarter in 23.27 to hit the finish line in 47.28 while under just slight encouragement nearing the wire . Soldat then continued on very strongly around the turn to the mile pole in what was little more than a gallop-out before pulling up six furlongs in 1:12.76 and seven-eighths in 1:27.82. |
