If Giant Oak doesn't win this it's really time for a surface change.

Does Hawthorne always draw 5 days out?

Jose Espinoza wasn't available.

It's about par for an Ill Derby...plenty of candidates to run 6th or worse on May 2.

True, he was an exception...unfortunately he only recently grabbed his 1st win since last April.

There are actually a few in there who might be decent horses down the road. Hopefully no Cowtown Cats.

If Giant Oak WINS this, it's because the other 10 horses scratched out of the race!!

i was thinking the same... make or break to keep on the trail IMO. I actually think he's gotta win to even think about considering the derby

All I want to know is....will the ostrich race be back this year?
Whenever they do, it is usually the highlight of Illinois Derby Day at Hawthorne for me.

If one needed any evidence that the dollar has been debased by all the government bailouts and spending, check out this field running for $500,000. This isn't your father's $500,000. Makes one want to go out and buy gold.

If you don't win the Illinois Derby, the next Derby you should be thinking of is not the one in Kentucky.
