Borel to ride Jackson Bend in Wood

I don't get it. Fly Down, who is more experienced and battle hardened (if you could call 3 races, two photos battle hardened), is being given more time, but Miner's Reserve who only beat maidens, is being pushed? I think it's too much, too soon for Miner's Reserve... |

To be perfectly honest, that's a conservative schedule amid the Derby trail coming from Nick Zito. |
You think an allowance race, followed by the Derby Trial is too much too soon?
I've offically now heard everything. |

Fly Down made his first start in three months at 9 furlongs, rallied from last and won a nose bob that ended a stretch-long battle. That's a hard race and I imagine Nick Zito knows how quickly his horses bounce back. NT |

The quote says that he is possible for the upcoming Louisiana Derby. |

it doesn't say that fly down is getting time off. and a horse going through conditions is being pushed?
|
If I was mapping out Miner's Reserve going forward ... you'd see what being rushed was all about.
I would survey the scene and absolutely give him a shot in the easiest looking Graded Stake Derby prep... maybe a race like the Illi Derby. If he would win he's in. |

It's my interpretation. I think this horse is very talented, but he just broke his maiden. For all we know, he could never win another race. I'm not questioning Zito re: Fly Down. I actually like Fly Down as much as MR, if not better. It doesn't sound like he's going to the LA Derby - and that's fine with me. |

How exactly does MF remind you of CCM anyway other than that they have the same sire? |
Jackson Bend reminds me of an improved Circular Quay.
