For You Reppo => AR Derby

FYR is an honest colt getting gradually better, running in a race with some suspects...I think a top 2 finish is a strong possibility....see more when the PP's come out

With a harmless 4th place finish on the polytrack in the Lanes End, I think we'll see a nice price for FYR. Especially with Curlin, Deadly Dealer, Flying First Class and Officer Rocket in the race.

If you intend on betting against Curlin in the Arkansas Derby save your money because he devours this field without Ketchikan. The lack of seasoning is the only concern with Curlin come Derby time.

I have to agree with you on this.

If he is as strong as I think he is, he will take apart that group at Oaklawn.

The best thing to come out of this is we won't have to hear Battaglia turn "for you reppo" into "fooooooor yoooooooou rrrrrrrepppppppo" , but the bad news is we get to hear Terry Wallace butcher it now. Those two are 1 and 1A when it comes to the worst callers.

Curlin, rated down the backstretch, never challenged, took the lead on the turn and waltzed home...count on it! Hope everyone keeps him under wraps and overlooked, come May 5!

If Curlin does win the Arkansas Derby, as expected, I seriously doubt an undefeated, G1 stakes winner will be overlooked on May 5. The general public won't care about a lack of foundation or not running at age 2.

They'll just see a horse that has won 3 races effortlessly.

Deadly Dealer is a better horse than Curlin. You will soon find out.
