The wiseguy's wiseguy horse.. Will get one shot at the brass ring. Going to get Matz tomorrow and see where Chelokee stands... Looks like IL Derby will be the place.


The balloting asks 'who has the best chance to win the Derby' and for starters, Birdbird is ASSURED a spot in it if McPeek wants, and that puts him ahead of many. McPeek loves the horse, says he belongs and I believe him.

Cobalt Blue was seen by Nick Zito as the single most outstanding individual in the SAR yearling sale two years ago and is heartbroken not to have him in his shed.

Adore the Gold is an overachieving sort who is just plain dead game and was actually best in the Fountain of Youth.
i understand what the poll means, as for cobalt blue and adore the gold i just figured they were to high, just my opinion, if i had a top 20 they would be 15-20, and as for birdbird, i dont see much there i think alot of ppl will agree that he just is not talented enough, my opinion is that birdbird is a 3 tier 3 yr old.

AHA!

Another that was impressed with Cobalt Blue over Curlin. Makes it about a 3:10 ratio.

That's fine. I'm going to side with Ken McPeek on this.. No offense. Keep the name Tejano Run in the back of your mind though...

No doubt that Circular Quay is my board horse for the Derby.I really think Todd knows this is his Ace.This horse LUVS Churchhill Downs, which is a big plus leading up to the Derby.I just want to see one or two bullet works before derby day.I just hope he doesnt show to much his next outing that would kill his price come derby day.

From what I've heard Pletcher considers Any Given Saturday (pre-TB Derby) his top 3yo. . . Whatever that's worth. . .

PP,

Circular Quay is the barn pet around the T.A.P. shed... Any Given Saturday is the horse Pletcher wants to win with. When I talked to him Saturday after the race, he was very disappointed. I didn't understand until yesterday why... 'Saturday' now needs to finish 1-2 in the Blue Grass to MAKE the Derby grid. And the way the race is shaping up, that's no certainty... It would be stunning if Any Given Saturday ended up excluded from the Derby.

Speaking of the 'SNS' route, start adding Street Magician to your stable watches. Trombetta's Preakness colt... He's taking the Bernardini route...

McPeek claims that Bird is better than Harlan's Holiday. Still waiting for that to happen

If they move any of the Triple Crown races to EVD the bird will be tough.

LOL, I didnt think about that. Good point! I can already see the headline now: "McPeek gives 'em the Bird"

Holy crap! Cowtown Cat is 16th! I have been telling you guys. I don't who will win, but there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that Cowtown Cat will finish anything other than EXACTLY 16th in the Derby.

Just curious, but what is your obsession with Cowtown Cat and finishing 16th? LOL
