I admit i've never seen him (... love the name).
Is there a replay anywhere? Thanks.

Marcus seems very confident about him, and from a trainer that doesn't go overboard with his runners, that is interesting. He is far more confident than he was with Sir Percy, and if anything, this years race looks even weaker. Do you think we are starting to see the results of breeding for speed?

theres certainly alot of horses that wont stay or are doubtful to stay the trip. I wouldnt be too knowledgeable about breeding.. I did fancy Archipenko but seeing that he is a late May foal (May 30th) surely, thats not a good sign.

Acapulco - Strong Stayer Admiralofthefleet - non stayer Anton Chekhov - Strong stayer Aqaleem - Likely stayer Arabian Gulf - Likely stayer Archipenko - Doubtful stayer Authorized - Likely stayer Eagle Mountain - Should stay, but not certain Eastern Anthem - Should stay Kid Mambo - Non Stayer Leander - Likely stayer Lucarno - Should stay (but not certain about this one) Mahler - Strong Stayer Petara Bay - Doubtful stayer Regime - Strong Stayer Salford Mill - Doubtful Stayer Soldier Of Fortune - Strong Stayer Strategic Prince - Should stay Yellowstone - Non Stayer This is through dosage index of both the sire and dam sire. For what it's worth, i don't think it matters about the foaling time. I will have a look at the stats though. Afraid to say it doesn't look Admiralofthefleet will make the gig, he is 50's on Betfair now

Foaling months of previous 10 Derby winners:
1996; Shaamit (February) 1997; Benny The Dip (January) 1998; High Rise (May) 1999; Oath (April) 2000; Sinndar (february) 2001; Galileo (march (almost april)) 2002; High Chaparral (March) 2003; Kris Kin (March) 2004; North Light (March) 2005; Motivator (February) 2006; Sir Percy (January) Maybe you're right, Brockguy. I never imagined it would matter much but looking at this, maybe it does. March seems to be the best month for foaling a derby winner........ so i guess i won't be winning the Derby.

Thanks for that list.. Immediately I thought Eagle Mountain wont stay (he reminds me alot of Oratorio). his dam has produced some stayers like Sulk but how many Rocks will stay 12f?? That Gosden horse is certainly interesting to say the least...
Regarding foaling date, I know the Racingpost had a write up about it about the foaling dates of horses in the Guineas.. Im sure it is less relevant for the Derby but in the back of my mind, Ill be thinking that Archipenko has just really turned 3 by Derby time..

I agree with you though, i think he will be this years Oratorio, do we get on for the Eclipse now? Slightly off topic, but did you see the full sister to Giant's Causeway at the weekend? How good did she look finishing 2nd in a hot listed race over five first time out when it looked like she will be tailed off at half way! Did we see the 1000 guineas winner of next year? I'm more than hopeful
