Anyone remember odds or have PP's for Bellamy Road in 2005 Derby? When looking at Justify I can't help but compare the 2. Very fast horses that will take a lot of money but weren't tested yet. Bellamy Road ran pretty well considering the pace and had the lead at the top of the stretch?

He went off at 5/2. There were some burners in that race including Spanish Chestnut, who went a crazy half.

He ran 3x as a 2yo so I'm not sure he's the best comp. Bodemeister is the best I've got.

I know it's not a direct comparison because of when they started racing but I feel like the way the race is going to play out could be similar. Instead of Spanish Chestnut we have Promises Fulfilled to gun it. While i'm not sold he goes 22 and 44 I can't help feel like Romans will have him rolling to give Free Drop Billy something honest to run at.

GARY YOUNG'S CLOCKING NOTES

April 27

Audible 12:1 24:1 49:2 gallop out 1.02

Worked in company with National Flag and proved slightly best to mild urging under Javier Castellano. He is a notoriously unwilling worker, but hey, give him credit for knowing practice from game day. Besides, the same could be said for a lot of us. Bottom line is he brings it when it counts and nothing in this work makes me think he won't on Derby Day.

Vino Rosso 11:4 23:2 47:1 gallop out 1.00:2 1.13:4

Worked outside of Outplay and these two left the pole running and clipped of sub 12 1/8's of a mile in 3 of the 4 furlongs of the work with Vino edging clear late under Johnny V. I like this colt and though he won't be my top pick, I can definitely see him hitting the board for The Godfather.

Magnum Moon 12:2 23:4 47:2 out 1.00:2

Worked inside of stablemate Maraud and proved best under mild urging He seemed rather controllable today but his lack of power steering down the stretch in his last 2 races, particularly in the Arkansas Derby is concerning. It is highly concerning and he most likely can't run crooked in the lane and win this Derby.

Lone Sailor 23;4 48 out 1.00:4

Had a serious drill and did respond to urging here. The prep he exits was the least visually appealing in this observer's eyes and he will spend cinco de mayo getting hot and dirty.

Wonder Gadot 23:4 48 out 1.00:4

Looked terrific finishing in full stride with a real nice energy to her. This year the Oaks is most likely a showdown between the 2 favorites, but an exacta box comprising of them is highly unlikely to pay your expenses so if you feel like going for value, Gadot could oblige.

Post Script

Today's Derby works at Churchill Downs were of high caliber colts but 3 time zones away a massive red horse named Justify put in his final Derby prep. This horse is a beast. While this years rendition is light years better than lasts, I have not been shy about the unreal ability this colt has and it's highly unlikely I will pick against him May 5.

Pace quads results.. Conditions look to have forced some hands to be more aggressive early (Bolt d'Oro, Firenze Fire) and problematic starts left some in trouble immediately (most notably Mendelssohn). But overall, the field lined up generally as expected, albeit spread out further than normal thanks to the slop.

Default Brisnet PPs

According to the Brisnet PPs for the Derby, these are the speed figures for some of the major prep races:

Justify Winner SA Derby 114
Bolt D'Oro 2nd SA Derby 110
Core Beliefs 3rd SA Derby ? (not in the KD PPs, obviously)
Instilled Regard 4th SA Derby 102

Vino Rosso Winner Wood Memorial 102
Noble Indy Winner La Derby 100
Magnum Moon Winner Ark Derby 99
Good Magic Winner Bluegrass Stakes 98
My Boy Jack Winner Lexington Stakes 94

Since Core Beliefs defeated Instilled Regard by 1 1/4 lengths, that would give him a speed figure of 103 or 104, good enough to beat the winners of the other five races listed above. Justify may be the best horse in the KD field, but to me the speed figures for the SA Derby look to be a little inflated.
