Eight Belles & Proud Spell

[Danzig]

i don't think it's crazy Hx3. you won't know if you don't try. eight belles had everything go wrong in her last, and still won. i bet she got a lot more out of that race than pyro and cool coal man got out of the bluegrass....
as for the rules for entering, i think the derby needs reworking big time. but i don't think porter should get blasted either. he's going to take a shot, but will also do what he thinks is best for his horses-which you don't often see. he wants a chance, but not if he thinks his gals will be compromised too badly to take that chance.

but then again, i'm biased in that i think the field is too dammed big anyway.
