Lucky had a very rough trip but gathered it up and passed every thing but Sids candy in the stretch only to get caught by Mandellas colt. Is everyone going to forget Mandellas colt and dwell on Luckys troubles?

Everybody has already given the Derby to the Wood winner.

Setsuko would need Giacomo's setup to make any sort of impact in the Derby.

Is Baffert being serious here?

Quote:

Baffert blamed Gomez for a bad ride.

“It was bad luck. It was a bad trip," Baffert said. "You can’t be on the inside on this track. (Gomez) took him back and he was fighting him. It was horrendous; his ride was horrendous. It’s unfortunate. The horse is a good horse. That’s the thing about synthetic. They’re not going to go fast. Keep him up there. He’s so afraid to let this horse run early, and it’s a shame, because that’s not Garrett. I don’t know why. He threw an interception.”

Baffert said he could not say if he would replace Gomez. “I’m not going to talk about that right now," he said. "I cannot believe he rode him that way. It’s ridiculous.”

Asked about the inquiry that followed, in which stewards made no change in the order of finish, Baffert said: “I didn’t really care. When I saw him on the rail, I said, ‘What is he doing?’ He must not have seen Jerry Bailey’s tape. We’re going to buy him some DVDs.”

last sentence made me laugh.

I think he was serious & I agree...it was a bad ride.

I agree with Baffert a thousand percent. It was a horrid ride. Setsuko lived up to those last two works going into the race.

Except the last work wasnt him the clockers got the wrong horse .... Dick got him in 49 and change , funny thing is they called Dick and asked him what he got him in and yet they still didnt change the time , tell me clockers arent jus a lil sneaky.

Gomez blamed Espinoza for him shuffling back. According to NBC, Gomez confronted Espinoza after the race and they had to be seperated after a heated exchange.

In a related story, Oprah was seen yelling at a spoon today, saying it made her fat...

Is this the same jock who supplied Body's college fund single handedly aboard Midnight Lute? Stay classy Bob.

Indian Charlie · #11 04-03-2010, 11:25 PM

Singlehandedly?

Midnite Lute?

What am I missing here?

ML was a beast and wouldn't have lost with PG1985 betting on him.

Still, to say we will get him Bailey DVDs is beyond insulting.

I learned a new handicapping angle at the Santa Anita Derby today.

Go with the horse that has the most girls with blond hair in short dresses in the paddock.
