I think Regal Ransom has no shot at staying 10f, so Desert Party seems to be the one for me.

Please share your rationale for why Regal Ransom can't stay 10 furlongs.

- There were major stamina doubts about him staying 9 furlongs before the Derby and I believe the track helped him stay. I dont think he can run the same type of race over 10 furlongs and last home.

Yeah...Godolphin thought he would have problems staying, Simon Crisford said such very early in the Carnival...and I totally agree that the track helped him stay.

That being said, his breeding suggests he can last.

my father is bugging me to know where Conservative is pointed next.

Has anyone heard? It seems he wouldn't get in the derby...
