Seems a little disconcerting in regard to WD.

Just talked to Lopresti. After what happened with Belmont, he figured there's no harm entering Successful Dan and SCR'ing. Says Wise Dan 100% but if he should spike a fever or cough or whatever, at least Mr. Fink would be represented in the race with Successful Dan. As long as Wise Dan runs as expected, Successful Dan will go to Cornhusker or Suburban.

Because Mike Smith is on fire.

[pucknut]

any guesses on the post time odds for the smarter of the dan brothers

[WGA]

Race 6 Regret Stakes looks like a good bettting opportunity. Funny Proposition (8-1), Heart of Destiny (12-1), Silver Hustler (20-1), Zapper Belle (20-1), Singn On Themoon (20-1), Treasured Up (10-1) all look possible in exotics.

i'm figuring lezcano is being blamed for her poor dubai showing. they have repeatedly criticized her trip in that race.

What happened in her comeback race? I honestly never saw it.

this is from the bloodhorse article about the FDL:


She came off a runner-up finish to Awesome Maria in the Sabin Stakes (gr. III) at Gulfstream Park to finish ninth against the boys in the March 31 Dubai World Cup after being stopped in traffic last time out at Meydan.

“She just had a very poor trip in the Dubai World Cup,” remarked Benjamin Leon, owner of Besilu Stable. “I believe she’s capable of competing at that level and with a better trip I think she could have won. I’m really hoping she stays healthy and wins enough this year to be invited back again. I think she could become the first female to win the Dubai World Cup; she’s definitely of that caliber.”


here's an article and comments from the connections after the race:

and really, i don't know if they have a valid bone to pick with lezcano-maybe she doesn't like awt's? maybe the owner doesn't like that he paid out a ton of money for the horse and she finished ninth, so he has to have a person to blame?
i do like the fact tho that when he told pletcher he was giving RD and some of his others to mott, (moved some to chad brown as well) that pletcher didn't like it, so he took them all away.

I just can't bet any of these races. There's no detention barn, for goodness' sake, and some of the horses won't even ship in until the day of the race.
