The last time I can remember him looking good was in the Criterium International (... but that was in like 2006).

Don't think much of him either...

Oracle West it was, I cheated and used google, IT will probably pay me a visit for surfing at work.

It is a very hard race but I am zoning in at Faboulous Babe as my play, not sure what the ML is on her but I like the Douglas/Robertson combo. Also a fan of South Beach Luv....I haven't really looked at the undercard but for a couple seconds. Tonight I am tearing apart the sheets and some replays, tomorrow I am partying after work in downtown AH until who knows when, and then Saturday I am handicapping the PP's

THey are both much better at 11f or 12f than at 10f. One would think that the one furlong wouldn't make that much difference, but 9-10f grass races are run differently from longer races.

Injury, but Frankel doesn't want to talk to anyone.

I believe the most anyone has gotten out of him is four words that basically say - He's hurt. Not running.

He just inherited the front end, for sure.

Talked to Shea with a couple of other folks...he LOVES this horse and is even more sure than you that Archipenko wins this. He talked about how push-button he is and how the blinkers have helped him settle down a ton. Said he can put him literally wherever he wants him.

I can understand that.

For what it's worth, Toque de Queda looked awesome this morning. Not sure she's good enough, but she looks the part.

According to the drf, the injury for Sudan is a bowed tendon.

That's if you are naive enough to believe the DRF that is!

I know, just saying though.

Don't think that Tizdejavu is beatable, unless Stidham sends one of his on seek and destroy mission.

UK Racing Post has 4 book makers up.

They are pretty much making Mt. Nelson and Archepenko co-favorites right now.
