Since the UAE Derby, I have been hoping that Thunder Snow would make the trip for the Derby. To me, the UAE Derby was the strongest race that has taken place this year. Thunder Snow will be a key with Gunnevera, Always Dreaming, and Classic Empire for me.
The only regret horse for me is my early season favorite, Practical Joke, who hung terribly against Irap in the Blue Grass and drew post 19 here. How I wish he would have accelerated even slightly in the Blue Grass ... but I just cannot create a winning scenario for him here.
Good luck to all ... and watch the track tomorrow!
