Road to The Roses
 

We have three weeks left of races. We can draft two horses this week. Who is everyone picking up?

Doesn't matter for me as I missed 3 weeks of active changes and am a chicken in a pot..I'll likely add Curlin and Dominican..

I haven't decided if I want to try and pick up someone running in the Tesio and Derby Trial and hope that one of the horses already in my stable will win the derby or if I should go ahead and pick up a horse that is done with their preps.

Although right now I have in my stable already the top four I like. So I am only going to be able to use one more horse derby day.

(She grabs lol lol lol....bet ya.)

Road to the Roses as of Now
 

As of now, who are the five horses you'll activate out of your stable for the big one, and who will you be leaving out that's probably in the Derby? Who was your worst pick as well? For me:

IN: any given saturday, curlin, nobiz like shobiz, circular quay, and street sense

OUT: hard spun

WORST: came to pass and day pass are tied for that honor

So far:

In: Great Hunter; Street Sense; ANy Given Saturday; Scat Daddy; (I have room for one more).

Out: Hard Spun

Bad choices: Ravel; Slew's Tizzy

My RTTR stable is so awful, I can't even comment. Needless to say, listening to certain posters here who are fans of Liquidity, Ravel, and Drums of Thunder didn't help. Liquidity in particular. Oh, and throwing Going Ballistic and Xchanger on my stable thinking that they would find a piece in some of those Oaklawn stakes was pure folly.

i wouldn't toss hard spun. . .

Sorry Slot... especially sorry for you listening to me! :eek:

Oh, I can add Liquidity and Drums of Thunder on my BAD list too. Gotta look at the entries for the Tesio for who I should draft this week.

Hey, my Tiznow baby was no better.

Drums of Thunder was my only non-contributer. I am going to try to find 2 in the Lexington to make up some ground. Gomez has turned out to be a poor jockey selection so far.

I tanked as usual this year. I'm not even sure I've got five horses going to the Derby.

I can't access my page right now but I know that Great Hunter, Curlin, Storm in May, and Street Sense are in my stable and will by default be activated on Derby Day.

I don't like the layoff. Only reason I am tossing him.

In stable 1: Scat Daddy, Any Given Saturday, Street Sense, Tiago and Zanjero.

In stable 2: Scat Daddy, Great Hunter, Street Sense, Curlin and Nobiz Like Shobiz.

Already have my Derby 5, So I will try to pick up points this weekend Soaring By,Etude.........

Etude going in the Tesio? I liked this horse a lot in his last race.

Curlin, Great Hunter, Hard Spun, Zanero and probably No Biz are in
AGS SS Stormello out

Need help on Saturday.

Is Belgravia worth a pickup?

Check out the thread on the Lexington. Some were talking about Belgravia.

Since I only have 6 horses still under consideration to start, I'll wait on events for one to have lousy works, or step on a rock, or something. The 6 are Any Given Saturday, Circular Quay, Great Hunter, Hard Spun, Nobiz, and Street Sense.

1st start after a layoff? I wouldn't. But what do I know? Not much according to some.

I'll wait til Friday. In 272nd place trying to get to page 1.

Thanks.

as of now, flying first class will be dropped like the bomb he turned out to be.

in: curlin, great hunter, hard spun....forget who else i have!

Right Now, i'll use-Great Hunter, Street Sense, Nobiz, Circular Quay, Liquidity. my 6th is Teuflesberg.

my let downs, Drums of Thunder, Air Commander, Rescue Party.

yes, and he wins for fun, on to Pimlico with Etude

Who you keep in your final stable should probably be dictated by who your trainers are. Mine are Tagg and Pletcher, therefore, I should probably keep all four of the Pletcher horses that I have and Nobiz, but I don't know whether I will do that or not. Hate to throw Street Sense, Curlin and Great Hunter out, but really, I probably should because everybody else is going to put them into their final stable.

RTTR
 

I added Forty Grams and Belgravia, trying to get some points in the Lexington. The last time I checked I was only one point out of first.

As for the Derby:

Scat Daddy
Nobiz Like Shobiz
Great Hunter
Street Sense
??????

One slot left for 5 May.
