So Ken McPeek adds to the mix here with Bold Start. Add the blinks, and feels this will be allot easier than the Bull.

Todd has a nice dou though, and will be tough to beat, so how easy will this be Ken??

While I don't think he is the best horse in the field there is reason to believe that his last race wasn't a good example of the type of talent he may have. He was coming off a big effort in his allowance win and was on a fairly short layoff. He gets an extra week and blinkers and the horse he defeated in his Maiden, Meritocracy, is being run in the FOY and has shown to be a decent one himself.

I like Storm in May in here, barring any unforseen changes in my thinking between now and tomorrow.

you're kidding, right?

there was trouble in the race but he certainly didn't get into any

UNLESS you think that sucking up on the rail behind horses is trouble

watch the headon

this horse is an absolute CROW

the winner was wide throughout

your horse didn't have to run until they entered the stretch -- when everyone else had run; including the winner

and he still couldn't run him down

fire up the replay

My boy came up empty

He had a little trouble on the turn, but nothing to merit the sound defeat he experienced. Hopefully they'll give him one more try around two turns on the dirt before taking him off the Trail.
