Too bad I can't follow my own advice a little better. A somewhat fun and at least distracting day, if not very profitable. I made a couple of dollars on the Bellafina/Serengeti Empress thing, but gave it all back and few more on the Derby, but all in all not hurt too bad. I've certainly done a lot worse on Derby Day. Like you Don, I'm ready to move on the BC.

On Mr. Big News, in the waning moments before the race went off, I made an exacta and a tri with him with Enforceable and Tiz as well as a Win/Place on him. My reasoning was those 3 seemed to have the best breeding according to those little numbers on the Brisnet PPs. On DRF, they call them Tomlinson numbers. But it was all for naught. As for his PPs, I really didn't like them. His last win at Oaklawn was on a sloppy track so I thought he might be a wet track specialist. Inside post didn't help Enforceable, but there are always exceptions to every rule. I can remember just a couple of years ago, one of those deep closer types that ran 2nd from the one post with an almost perfect trip skimming the rail.

I hope that Thousand Words is ok. So scary when they do things like that.

Has anybody seen an update on him
and that he is OK .

[JolyB]

Shortly after the race it was announced that he was not adversely affected by the fall and was perfectly OK.

The assistant trainer whom he fell on, however, had a fractured wrist.

[RUFFIAN]

Thank you for that
I have a tendency to always be more concerned over the animals

Yes, DRF saying he will likely start in the Preakness. I thought during the broadcast they said he hit his head, but DRF says he fell on his side which I guess could be bad too for a thousand pound plus animal, but those head blows are the ones that sometimes kill them so I'm glad to hear he is alright.
