Thanks Slot. Makes sense now.

Maybe someone knows more then what I have been told in regards Mike Smith, but isnt he riding Tiago???????

For Derby per NTRA.com

Stewart Elliott Teuflesberg
Corey Nakatani Great Hunter .
Victor Espinoza Cobalt Blue,
David Flores Liquidity.

Cobalt Blue has enough earnings to be in, and even if he does, why?

After having the pleasure of meeting Kent D on the flight to Lexington last Thursday, and the results he had from limited rides
4 winners top price being a $57 winner
2 seconds and 2 thirds. He deserves a ride on a good horse.

and you get the added bonus of him having won this race, not once but twice!

I think Kent D is on Stormello for the Derby no?

yea, thats is correct, his brilliant trainers new strategy is to take the horse back and make one run in this paceless race.

Interesting. I mean, could he have actually been one of the lone speeds? Especially of Teuflesberg doesn't go.

Hard Spun out there? Cowtown Cat?

Now they're going to change his running style on a few weeks notice? Great.

I like the horse, he's a fighter. But I'm not sure I can hope on the bandwagon May 5th.

Stormello should be 1000-1 to win the derby- regardless of style. . . This looks good for Hard Spun IMO. . .

Somebody's going to have to lead this race early...

danzig needs stakes winner #195. who better than hard spun in the kentucky derby??

altho, i'd hate to see that butt ugly red sportscoat in the winners circle...bound to clash with the red roses.
