P.S. - not sure folks who are inquiring about Liaison can really knock those looking to take a stab with El Padrino...

Nick's explanation still doesn't do it for me, and yeah, while Pyro and El Padrino do have different circumstances, my assertation that they are similar in style and lack of speed, and an abundance of hype, it still stands.

That being said, if the sire was IC, than El Padrino would obviously be a much better racehorse. This would all be a mute point.

I went into the write up liking the fact that he showed potential to move forward off the FL Derby where he wasn't as bad as people might think. And fig-wise, he's actually been pairing up and is completely in line with all the obvious, lower-priced options. He has a good style for how I think the race flow is going develop as well. The problem, if he indeed has gone the wrong way, is that the Risen Star corker gutted him and Mark Valeski and it will be a while before he's back to where it appeared he was headed. While Jones & Jones may OK a start Wednesday after his jog, Valeski appears to be sideways right now as well..

Glad this has generated discussion. Take a good look at the Derby charts from the last 7-8 years. Headed to a dinner but anxious to see more of everyone's thoughts later!

While a bit better of a performance, perhaps, than his race in Louisianna, it really wasn't much to get excited about.

Secretariat for instance. However, these horses had established form and had run in top races, distinguishing themselves quite well. Can't really say that for El Padrino.

El Padrino is getting a look because of his positive figure pattern.
He is supposedly set for a good performance, and his best puts him in contention (minus the big Bode number). Initially I liked him but his last work has me concerned.
