as drugs said, you have to wonder about chelokee after seeing how scat daddy ran in the derby. of course there is every possibility that the distance was just too much for daddy--but certainly there is a question mark or two there.
if chelokee is doing well, what the heck-run him in the preakness. i don't think street sense is unbeatable--he's at 50% lifetime...why not take the shot?

Spiro T. Agnew is here to stay.
Not only, like Billick, does he honor CJ and his home city of Baltimore....but, compared to our current VP, he is a man of incredible honesty and integrity. Plus he's greek....and really---the Baltimore-Greek connection cinched it up. Last edited by The Indomitable DrugS : 05-10-2007 at 11:38 PM.

PROFESSIONAL suckup horses always have a chance to win.
Good luck with this one. We're blessed this year with a 3 year old SUCKUP TROIKA Chelokee Bold Start Cowtown Cat Sucking up in a race near you.

This was mentioned to me yesterday and it's kind of a good point...
IF Chelokee was sitting on his best race, they would not even be considering the Barbaro over the Preakness. With that said, I think he's more likely a go in the Barbaro than the Preakness anyway.

I think he's more likely to go in the Preakness....
But, in horse racing, with lowered expectations come lowered results...though that's espeically true in the claiming game. Chelokee will be a clear-cut 4th choice in the betting in the Preakness, Matz is a fan of going into a race with lots of time between starts, and as much as Matz would love to win the 1st running of the Barbaro Stakes with Prado up, one year after what happened last year....we all know how hard to resist it is running in a Classic, when you're the 4th choice in the betting, and the clear-cut favorite of the "new shooters."

I am not so sure Flying First Class doesn't have a shot. He seems to be coming around pretty nicely.

I think Flying First Class is probably just a sprinter.
If you look at his form---in his two tries around one-turn, racing at a sprint distance...he had that sensation 107 Beyer (albeit inside-speed bias aided) maiden win. And the dominant front-end win in the Derby Trial Stakes last time out. In his three attempts around two-turns and routing....he ran like he was hit in the head by the 1/8th pole all three times. A lot of people thought Bernardini (having never raced around two-turns in his life) was not ready for last year's Preakness---but, he was going to be the 4th choice in the betting, and the "favorite" of all of the newcomers...which is why it was too tempting for his connections to pass.

You are probably right. I plan on sticking with Curlin anyway. He made me money his first three races and I am not going to abandon him because of his derby. I just think he is more talented than Street Sense and I really think Street Sense is a horse for the course at Churchill.
