it sure would be nice to see a rabbit burn out Justify and his greenness in kentucky. Bolt couldn't catch him..he left his derby 144 in the San felipe.

Promises Fulfilled and Flameaway should be forwardly placed.

I would like to see Irad stick with Free Drop Billy, as he seems the type that can add some value in the race.

He is going nowhere. Watch the replays of his last 2 and tell me why you think he has any shot.

I don't think BDO wants any part of 1 1/4, despite his pedigree.

The B.C. Juvenile Turf winner. I don't know who he beat in the UAE but Holy Shlt! What a performance. He doesn't have those long legs that you see on a turf horse. He is built low to the ground.

If he is the real deal this horse might come close to or beat the track derby record.

Mendelssohn

Looks just like Scat Daddy...

Because its a picture of Scat Daddy, not Mendelssohn



Scat Daddy did stamp them with short legs though. And despite that, they have performed best on turf. I believe Justify is his first Grade 1 winner on dirt in the US (Daddys Lil Darling came close a couple of times).

You're right about his build.
He looks like a quick miler.

THE 3 MILLION DOLLAR SALE TOPPER OF A CHAMPION...

I'm with you.

Colt is made for 10 panels,He's got one chance with his good turn of foot and one run and that is whoever rides Bolt will have to stay within 3 lengths of the leader in the final turn and use that one good run the length of the stretch to hopefully run down both Justify and Good magic who figure to be on the lead at this point

The female family for Bolt D'Oro is littered with speed with a smattering of stamina.

His dam Globe Trot did her best running at a flat mile. Her other winner, Sonic Mule, is a multiple stakes winner up to a mile, but seems to prefer sprints (he's by Distorted Humor).

The second dam is Trip, who was stakes caliber both long and short. In addition to Bolt D'Oro's dam Globe Trot, she produced Need, who is the dam of the good sprinter Recruiting Ready (who ran a few times against kinsman Sonic Mule). She also produced Passport, who won the minor juvenile route, the Cradle.

Trip's dam was Tour, who was a multiple stakes winner sprinting. Her best son was Laity (by Pulpit), who also won the two turn Cradle. She has produced 3 broodmares of note. Guide produced the Coolmore turf sprinter The Great War (War Front). Joke produced the Grade 1 sprinter Zensational (Unbridled's Song). Leave produced the two-turn stakes horse Departing (War Front).

Good luck beating Justify because of his foundation being built on straw supports. It's 2018, not 1988. this guy is the greatest dirt trainer ever, you really think a bruised hock is keeping Mac out of KD? He knows Mac has 0 chance v Justify and he knows Justify will be toast by June and Mac will be coming back for Haskell Travers when these other colts are toast. He is the best and knows horses better than anyone, he plays the game like Mozart played music.

I originally thought after the San felipe, that Bob would skip the SA derby, and go right into 144 with Mac. However for him to skip the derby is not a ploy, but an injury. he my have skipped SA ...but the entire sport revolves around winning in Kentucky in May. for that reason , I have to disagree with your logic. He would not skip shipping to Louisville for 144 unless he was hurt
