Nice to see Papa Clem in there :tro:
|
That might be a worse field then last years survivors of Big Browns romp. Where do they get all these stiffs.
|
Dollars to doughnuts that Papa Clem goes off as the favorite unless ol' Pioneerof enters.
|
I thought FF's hoof got ripped up. Are they really going to bring him back in 2 weeks?
|
by the time it is all said and done i would be shocked if there wasn't a full field of 14 going postward. anyone with a three year old with all 4 legs attached that has shown any ability to stay what so ever will take a shot if there is room, no? who would they be afraid of?

Maybe a horse like Terrain might be tempted to skip the Lone Star race now and wait a week?
This One's For Phil would be very dangerous in the Preakness now that Dominguez has shown he can settle him to a crawl early on. |
Was Hull heading this way?

The Sunland Derby winner Kelly Leak worked 5 furlongs yesterday.
I wouldn't be shocked if the owners of him are pleading to run in the Preakness. |
why wouldn't they take a shot with rachel alexandra here? $1,000,000 here vs $250,000 in the acorn. and she barely broke out of a cantor on friday, while everyone from the derby was panting home and mr fantasy was all out to hold off tofp at a mile?

The way he has settled in his last two - the distance won't be a problem at all.
But if allowed to use his natural speed - a mile is probably his best distance. |

He held on a lot longer than I thought he would, and seemed to respond initially when challenged. Perhaps that was just a product of the track, as he was one of the few that seemed almost as unlikely as Mine that Bird going in, but taking a shot with him in this spot seems reasonable off that performance. |
He and Regal Ransom ran virtually together the whole way around. They both got to keep their faces nice and clean for the most part anyway.
