Derby Notebook/Earnings (4/17); Soldat sharp in last FL drill

[mbahadur]

Per Jay Privman in today's DRF,

"As for Gourmet Dinner, he has not worked since finishing second in the Holy Bull Stakes on Feb. 26, and this past weekend, he was taken off the grounds of Gulfstream Park, bound for a farm in Ocala, Fla.

Neither his owner, Bill Terrill, nor his trainer, Steve Standridge, have returned phone messages left for them both Monday and Tuesday."

[The Indomitable DrugS]

You can currently give 39/1 against Brethren winning the KY Derby on the exchanges right now.

Which means some dope out there actually wants him for $80 at that price.

Looks like you may need 250k to get in safely this year.
I think a 2-3 year ago 150k was enough.

It always depends if something odd happens in a race like the Bluegrass or Lexington, but looking at the list above, there's probably 3 horses that are currently in the top 10 and a few more in the top 20 that won't end up going to the derby.

Riveting Reason off Derby trail
Riveting Reason, second in the Grade 2 Robert Lewis Stakes in February in his most recent start, has been turned out for the spring with a hoof injury, according to Maria Ayala, assistant to owner-trainer Myung Kwon Cho.

Maybe more than $250 k. The Louisiana Derby purse needs to be lowered! Pants On Fire? Come on, do we have to see this horse take up a space in the gate?

It's been two weeks since Uncle Mo worked out on 3/12. Nothing since.

How long does Pletcher usually to work his horses after an afternoon appearance?

What does Uncle Mo's facebook page say about his training schedule?

I don't know, I'll have to wait for a response from the DT facebook whore.

After my wagers today (I knew it was over when Master of Hounds lost the headbob), I sure like the sound of a good DT Facebook whore

He might be busy preparing for the inevitable skirmish with TFM over Beyer figures for some of the lightly-raced 3yos such as Bind.

Wrong gender.

Well, you are from Vermont, so maybe Dougie is your type
