maybe they could just go ahead and have a first mare presentation rather than bothering with a trophy.

Dutrow Jr. seemed pretty confident about Big Brown's chances in this Saturdays Preakness in the following article published in Wednesday's New York Post.
http://www.nypost.com/seven/05142008..._us_110711.htm NO ONE'S SUPPOSED TO BEAT US May 14, 2008 -- LOUISVILLE - I can't wait to get out of here and head to Baltimore. But I sure am glad I came! It's like Saratoga. You can't wait to get there, then you can't wait to leave. I see Gayego (17th in the Derby) is running in the Preakness. That's fine with us. They say he had a bad trip. I think he just got outrun - and it's going to happen again. That horse ran terrible in the Derby, flew back to California, now he's flying east again. That's enough for me to know. They're just completely putting him up against it. They can't beat us now. There is not a horse in that field that's supposed to beat Big Brown. He should like Pimlico. It's a speed-favoring track, always has been. As long as he keeps going the way he is now, he'll be going into the race good, even if it is off just a two-week break. We're just going to have to see how the horse handles it. There's no way of me saying beforehand. Brown looks like the best horse, and that's what you need to win, as long as he breaks good and gets things his way again. It doesn't look like there's much speed in the race. If that's the truth, maybe we'll just have him come running the first part, so he can get position and save ground. We might use different tactics than we did in the Derby. It depends on his post and all that kind of stuff. Hopefully, we'll have another good day. He'll gallop this morning, then head for the airport.

I just have to question the sanity or general mental acuity of anyone who would compare Baltimore to Saratoga.

Incidentally, I will decidedly not be rooting for this particular horse to win the Triple Crown should he make it that far.

I hope this son of a gun stays healthy and wins the preakness. The Belmont could be the crown jewel of the series this year.

I actually found the post where I brought that to the board.
It's really a quote from the Sheik on why he retired Lamtarra after four starts and didn't bring him here for the BC. I kid you not.

Rumor still has it that it's NOT Darley.
Darley buys horses and doesn't allow partners so if IEAH (or even Pompa for that matter, I guess) wish to maintain some level of interest, Darley is not their farm. IEAH has a small (about 12, I'm told) band of mares so I guess that they may want to hold an interest.

if not them, then you'd next move to three chimneys, lane's end, or maybe claiborne-since they're the ones who stood boundary. guess we'll know by days' end.

It's not Darley. But I'm only allowed to say it on one message board and I already used up my allotment.

Darley doesnt own all of Any Given Saturday. While they prefer not to have partners on stallions, they'll make a few exceptions and that depends on who the potential partners are.
