Gomez; Espinoza; Baze; Flores; Enriquez = Santa Anita..

Cobalt Blue is a Doug O'Neill colt by Golden Missle that was Adena bred and now is in the possession of Merv Griffin.. He was an 'early' juvenile, debuting as a winner over a non-descript Maiden group at HOL before trying the Gr. II Best Pal at DMR in his second start (Principle Secret; Great Hunter; Stormello). Got hurt, and was shelved. Has been working since December though for the return. I'll talk to O'Neill today and see how he has been doing...

I think playa was big on an allowance type horse early last year as well. Some folks like to make the easy picks, some folks take the longshots!

Without respect to the horse's merit, it would take a tremendous effort for a 3yo to win the Kentucky Derby off of this kind of preparation. Two races at 2 in June? and July? Then a 6f n1x race in mid February, leaving very little time to fit in a 2-turn n2x, and a couple of stakes races to determine his quality, given the way they race Derby candidates these days.
