Steve,

Are you going to post your ballot on here for us? Interested to see how last weekend affected your support of Hard Spun, who I see has zero first-place votes now.

They had a write-up on Flying First Class up on DRF's website now.

Lukas seems very excited about having the now-rare chance to ruin another exciting prospect.


"I'm definitely not worried about this horse going two turns," Lukas said. "This is a big, long-striding horse that will run from here to the Rocky Mountains.

"He's got me getting up in the mornings."

It almost wouldn't be a surprise if he actually made him run to the Rocky Mountains...

In the EHorse betting exchange, Nobiz Like Shobiz is the favorite, and can be backed at odds of 10/1.

Only four horses are priced at odds of 25/1 or less. They are...

Nobiz Like Showbiz (10/1)
Ravel (13/1)
Street Sense (15/1)
Any Given Saturday (20/1)

Many horses are availabe at odds of better than 100/1

Notable among them include Adore the Gold, EZ Warrior, Birdbirdistheword, Buffalo Man, Day Pass, Drums of Thunder, Imawildandcrazyguy, Noble Court, Storm in May, and Vicarino among many others.

I'm surprised you dropped Hard Spun that far.

Thought I didn't post it on this board before the race, I strongly felt he would lose the Southwest and said so before the race---I really saw a lot of circumstancial things against him going into that race.

Honestly, the more times I watch his race on Monday, the more I seem to fall for it.

I think he'd easily beat that same field again in a fairly run race, and with his rider putting him in the race early on.

I guess the question was---how good was that field? Like you, I would also have him at #7 on my Derby list....but I would have had him in that same spot going into the race.

If I was more confident in the validitiy of the 100 Beyer figure the race got, I'd even be a tad bit tempted to move him up a spot.

Is there a Great Hunter (GB) or Great Hunter(IRE) because you seem to have a 2 Great Hunters in your top 20

If he goes to the Rushaway I would be worried. Its not like the Spiral or whatever they call it now has come up tough for like ....10 years or so. I hope he runs in the Tampa Derby, makes it a much more interesting race.

are you sure he doesn't win a prize for being the first person who carefully read your list and found the hidden (intentional) mistake designed to flush out the astute observer?
