Why do you say that? The horse has raced exclusively on the real stuff throughout his career - and won.

and yes he raced in Peru, but he was winning by some pretty gaudy margins. he might fit in very well with this rather undistinguished group we have this year.

that actually makes a lot of sense... i mean the group has done nothing, he did run third off of a long long layoff, you'd figure a 2-3 this weekend, and he's be primed 3 start back for the derby... not impossible

I think that's a bit harsh, Hossy. A claimer? Are the nine or so horses who finished in arrears of Tomcito in the Florida Derby all claimers as well? Hey Byrn? Fierce Wind?

I think what Hossy is overlooking is the fact that Tomcito is three syllables.

The first Sunday in May can't get here soon enough.

He will basically pass everything that totally stops in front of him....

Which might actually be quite a few horses in this years Derby.

He could run a nice 9th or 10th if the pace is hot enough

Might be able to get 4th or 5th if things COMPLETELY melt down... note the Imawildncrazyguy types- which is a lot more upside than most of these plugs. If I'm right, and the Florida Derby Beyer was actually too low, then he's got a legit chance to finish in the top quarter of the race (with a 0% chance of actually winning)

Unfortunately I think we're saying that about 80% of the field this year. Boy does this group suck.

we can just paste in the Caesar thread as there can't be anything that wasn't covered about this horse in there
