Does anybody have any thoughts on Mr. Commons? I want to use him on Saturday and I hear his works are promising along with the fact that it is Shirreffs.

Any buzz?

This DRF story tells you all you need to know about the new faces:

The money quote: Among the newcomers, Watchmaker has Saratoga Red at the shortest odds (10-1).

Doesn't that have to be a misprint? I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

Saratoga Red didnt run a lick on derby day but was a morning glory for the 2 weeks prior.

Saratoga Red should be at least 100-1 in my opinion.

I am getting the feeling that you guys aren't on board with the Mr. Commons thing. Where is DrugS when you need him? You know he would be all over shirreffs in this spot.

Anything look promising here?

I like him more than a little. Shirreffs was eager to get him into Derby, and that's hardly a situation you would expect him to be eager about without cause.

Turf horse. Only dirt starts he beat a Cal bred ex-claimer by a desperate head, then ran a weakening 3rd with a ground saving trip behind horses that ended up 16th and 19th in the Kentucky Derby.
