His ticket is already punched in terms of earning thanks to the Champagne. He would only need a 2nd or 3rd in one race to get there. If he couldn't do that he wouldn't be going to the KY Derby. The Remsen would be more than enough.

Money is not an issue with this horse. The only issue is safety and getting him to Florida healthy. I think he will likely go Holy Bull, Fountain of Youth, Wood or something that that with him. He is a very big horse though and he might just go the Barbaro route. I really think Tagg will go the same route he did with Funny Cide though. I would have to look at the race schedule but a race in Louisiana or Arkansas might be in there. 99% sure though they will try to go to the Wood with him, just like FC and just like they planned for Showing Up before he has a minor injury.

well, that post covers every possible route to the derby minus the west coast. that way, regardless of direction taken, you'll be RIGHT. lol how pathetic.

Actually it covers two routes.

Holy Bull-Arkansas or Louisiana-Wood

Holy Bull-Fountain of Youth-Wood.


Please show me the other routes. I wiould love to know how you read something more than that.

well, fc ran in new york, there's that route.
than the arkansas route.
the louisiana route.
the florida route.
showing up ran in the lexington, so there's going thru ky.

again, nothing left but west coast. you're some prognosticator.

Do you need a lesson in reading?

My post says Showing Up was going to the wood but he got hurt.

Florida is in both the routes.
Funny Cide took the same route I pointed out. Holy Bull/Louisiana/Wood.

It is still just two routes. There is no other way to read that post.

He will go Holy Bull/Louisiana or Arkansas/Wood or Holy Bull/Fountain of Youth/Wood. A million things could change between now and then but I am pretty sure they are looking at Holy Bull-February 3 (it is 8f this year) then the Louisiana Derby-March 10, and then the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct which I believe is April 7.

This is all speculation, because who knows what will happen between now and then. But the Holy Bull is likely his first 2007 start.

a most amusing thread this fine afternoon. you got your george w., who will argue anything and retire to the the comfort of the home his parents bought for his brother and his friends. then, of course, you have your 'throat.' throat will, we know, go to the point of looking up words in one or more dictionaries to argue a position.

Classic confrontation of "Who Cares" vs "Who Gives a Sh**."

sorry to interrupt. just letting you know how entertaining it's been.... good luck today.
