Nobiz takes lead in Dispatch Derby Poll

He merely sucked up behind a fast pace that collapsed while Street Sense exploded.

Are the BC replays online?

As for CQ, I kicked his sorry ass out after the Hopeful. Until he gets a similar setup, you know, one of those rare perfect trips where everyone else runs and the race collapses, he's not winning. Against reasonably good quality competition, at least.

Hard to believe that some actually give this horse a shot.

i don't think anyone has jumped off the street sense boat-they're just waiting for it to hoist anchor before putting the luggage on board.

i'm gratified to see hard spun getting lots of backing. he's impressed me, so at least i'm not alone in my thinking.

The most irritating thing about the juvenile was Denman's call. SS was back in the barn before Denman noticed he was first across the line.

Hard to believe?
Finishing no worse than 2nd in 5 lifetime races (4 of the graded stakes)?
He's not at the top of my derby list, but I've seen every one of his races and he has a lot of ability. I don't think he needs a dream trip to win any of the derby preps he gets entered in.

Five starts, 3 wins, 2 seconds, $781K in the bank. Yeah, a real sorry ass.

Since you threw this one off of your list, please don't keep us in suspense any longer. Let us know who IS on your list.

I wouldn't play Nobiz in the Derby unless it rained.

He just doesn't fit my profile for a Derby horse, not that I'm particularly adept at picking a Derby winner.
