![]() Was just talking to Chuck and Helen Pitts was yelling at him in the background.. She got on the phone and told me For You Reppo will go in the Arkansas Derby after working in 1:00.4 at Oaklawn.. Says he's doing super..
And Einstein next in the Woodford Reserve Derby Day.. He's doing great.

Really liked FYR, hope his effort at TP was polytrack related, and will do better at OP. Einstein ran giant his last two races. Most on this board do not like him, but after seeing his last two, how can you not like those efforts, both with horrendous trips. GL to both |

![]() Wow..
That is interesting news. For you Reppo will be going up against Curlin, who she would obviously still be training if he wasn't sold privately after his maiden win. I'm sure beating him in this spot would be pretty special, and as a fan of FYR, I'd love to see him get to the derby. |

![]() I have liked him and for awhile a thought he was one that could blossom in the spring and make a good run at the derby. If I had to guess I'd say this is a case of derby fever. It would take a real breakthrough performance at Oaklawn to convince me he is ready.

![]() FYR is an honest colt getting gradually better, running in a race with some suspects...I think a top 2 finish is a strong possibility....see more when the PP's come out

![]() If you intend on betting against Curlin in the Arkansas Derby save your money because he devours this field without Ketchikan. The lack of seasoning is the only concern with Curlin come Derby time.

If he is as strong as I think he is, he will take apart that group at Oaklawn. |

![]() The best thing to come out of this is we won't have to hear Battaglia turn "for you reppo" into "fooooooor yoooooooou rrrrrrrepppppppo" , but the bad news is we get to hear Terry Wallace butcher it now. Those two are 1 and 1A when it comes to the worst callers.

![]() Curlin, rated down the backstretch, never challenged, took the lead on the turn and waltzed home...count on it! Hope everyone keeps him under wraps and overlooked, come May 5!
