Any Given Saturday

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I strongly disagree with the poster who thought AGS's KEE race 2nd time out was his best race. His stakes debut was a far better performance.

The last high profile 3yo prospect, to finish his 2yo season in the Kentucky Jockey Club and make his 3yo debut in the Sam Davis was The Cliff's Edge.

He was beaten as the 1/2 favorite in the betting. Two races later, he rallied to win the Blue Grass Stakes with a 111 Beyer, beating eventual Ky Derby 2nd and 4th place finishers Lion Heart and Limehouse. TCE ended up being the morning line favorite for the Derby. However, he was cold on the board, ran 5th, lost his shoes, and I think might have come out of the race with an injury.

I'm not discouraged with AGS's effort today, and still consider him a legit Derby horse. However, I'm also a tad happier I passed up making a future bet on him at the anemic 14/1 odds he closed at last week.
