Gorella? Now that would be awesome. You would think she is already showing up to Arlington because of the Beverly D.

Gorella would EXCEL on this turf course, looking forward to seeing her on Million Day, in any capacity. Not sure about Showing Up, Secretariat never draws a big field anymore so it won't surprise me if he won it....If he doesn't win the next one, he won't even come to that, no reason, only a 400k purse, which Dicky D needs to work on

Ain't no way Showing Up is going in there if he wins the VA Derby..

So Scav, you're suggesting that Mystery Giver is gonna be much better a few starts down the line than he is now? I'm gonna have to disagree with that.

Ateam, Showing Up will be in the Secretariat at Arlington if he wins the Virginia Derby....THE only way he isn't in that race is if he breaks his leg.....

You realize there is a 5 million dollar bonus if you win both Colonial Races, the Secretariat, and the BC turf, right?

Dude, that was my exact point. If I read correctly, Hoovesie was saying Showing Up might be in the MILLION...I was saying if he wins the VA Derby, he'll be in the Secretariat...

I concur...I can't believe he let this horse run for a tag...

but I must admit....I'm laughing so hard about the title....I can't wait for good ole blocky to read this thread and think it's about him, he'll be so dissapointed...

Block hasn't become one of the top trainers in the Midwest by being stupid. He was right; he placed the horse in the spot WHERE HE BELONGED (he didn't run off and win by 10). He won the race and nobody claimed him. The horse hadn't won in 2 years and he's 8 years old. Who would drop $40,000 for that? Its not as if he dropped him in for $5K. Horses are expensive to keep. I don't think anybody should tell owners to NOT race their horses.
