Uber Stakes ~ The return of Musket Man

[AeWingnut]

MUSKET MAN hung 5 wide prompting the early pace, gained a short lead after a half then resisted gamely when challenged through a long drive and narrowly prevailed while fully extnded.

I'm really glad he held on to win. Not a bad outing considering he's been off since the Preakness.

Got a 99 for a solid effort.

Lost in the return of Musket Man was the fantastic effort of Guam Typhoon. A half to Miss Isella (who certainly got better with age), he has every right to move forward this year and if he does he could be a nice sidekick to Capt. Candyman Can for Ian Wilkes.

MM my derby pick! Didnt know he was running, where you at Gales????

I must say that every time this colt has gone more than 8f, he has far exceeded my expectations. He's a very nce horse and his return showed it. Remember, he was beaten only 1 1/2 by RA in the Preakness.

I think that is a very good point as it was RA's best race. He didnt run the type of race she did but it was still pretty good. I think you can toss the distance stereotypes on Musket Man he is a running and very honest
