i remember seeing Whitmore run earlier this meet at Sar and thought that he for sure would run in the Kings Bishop?? . Any word on what he has planned next?

he is an older horse, and i think he had a little issue right before the vanderbelt

thank 10pt, much appreciated. forgot that he wasnt a 3 yr old as now that i think about it im pretty sure i lost money on him last year during the triple crown races, just thought he looked pretty good winning the sprint race tht he was in up there earlier in the meet.

Kentucky Derby II

minus the fluff

Tapwrit, the fav, lost at SAR before, doubt he has a win here,

whereas, Good Samaritan, third in the BCJ Turf - 2016, has all the pedigree he needs to take this years eclipse.

Status: Active Owner(s): WinStar Farm LLC - China Horse Club International Ltd.
Trainer: William I. Mott
Bred: Kentucky (USA) by WinStar Farm LLC
Pedigree: Harlan's Holiday - Pull Dancer by Pulpit(sire of Tapit)

The $1.25 million Travers Stakes on Aug. 26, is expected to attract Always Dreaming, Cloud Computing, Belmont Stakes winner Tapwrit. If all three horses run in Midsummer Derby, it would mark the first time that's happened since Gato del Sol, Aloma's Ruler and Conquistador Cielo dueled in the 1982 Travers, won by Runaway Groom in a surprise.

might as well start painting that canoe white and blue for Winstar

A little early to be drunk isn't it ?

[Secretriat34]

i can't drink as much as I used to, now only gambling and medical MJ are my only vices, and they, combined, cost enough.

As you get older the drinking and the whoring diminish...poor girls...how will they survive ?

A lot cheaper growing your own

back to DORTMUND, it will be interesting to see where he will surface, perhaps a shot at the Clark ? I can't see a run in the BCC without preps.

Unless I missed something, Irad Ortiz has only one stakes mount.

In the Ballarina its a very interesting race, both Curina Mia and Paulasilverlining are going to be up against pace issues and all these horse have run figures that can beat each other.

The most interesting horse is Curlins Approval who interestingly enough runs her best when right behind a slow pace, fast pace and she does not run as well. Sat it should be slow, and she will be on the great rail and I like her to beat this group. I will save with ByTheMoon who is the lone speed and I will use Highway Star who loves this distance and has figures that can win.

Off of the York race today........... Idaho becomes the only look in the Sword Dancer.

Strange pace race............reminds me quite a bit of last years BCFMS.
Considering that Paulassilverlining has become quicker since entering the Chad barn,I think she's the one.
I don't think she's pace dependent in any way now.
I do think a couple in here might be course dependent:
By The Moon: I now think Belmont is where she wants to be.
Curlin's Approval: It sure looks like Gulfstream is her playground.
BTW.........did you see who's saddling Curlin's Approval ?

Possibly the Delmar Futurity. Distance should be perfect for him.
