Why? He wired a small field with no other speed. I think he's an extremely vulnerable favorite at Hawthorne.

I think C.B is a nice horse, but I think he is just to far behind at this point. But I love Merv so it would be nice to see him at the Derby.

Doug O'Neill has told us repeatedly that ultimately, Cobalt Blue is the most talented of the sophomores in his barn. If you're familiar with the back story on Cobalt Blue, you know that Nick Zito was sick about Robert LaPenta not retaining the colt as he thought he was the top prospect in the Saratoga sale two years ago.

Having had a start at 2, Cobalt Blue owns an edge over Curlin and the other late arrivals on the Derby Trail. A win or strong performance at Cicero makes him a very viable alternative to the obvious top contenders come Derby Day. Ignoring this one is a mistake. Too many quality evaluators of horseflesh are sufficiently impressed with him to discount.

If he should fall short of Derby entry, he'll certainly be among the division leaders by the time we get to the Haskell and Travers.

I think Bold Start will look better after the race in the winner's circle.

get to look at him everyday runnin down the lane as hes the backround on my comp=) saturday get to see him in the flesh.


lol i keep hearing his last on the front was too easy and it seems nobody wants 2 give the horse any credit yet. well the horse doesnt need the front to win! even if hes triumphant saturday i still think people will be hesitant since unfortunately our states derby doesnt draw the a list overall as far as the division is concerned
