Please tell me you aren't serious about that post.

If you are serious, that is epic stupidity.

I read somewhere that he was suppose to go to the Super Derby however someone made the decision that he should not run any 2 turn races this year Makes 0 sense but thats GoDolphin. In fact he wasnt even nominated to the PA Derby just the Super Derby

or maybe this field scared him off

Super Derby Probables

Golden Moka-- Might go to PA Derby
Apart
Coyote Legend
Distorted Economy
Monsignor
Hurricane Ike
Wando Redd
Ricky Tick

Do owners not realize they are paying a nice purse for the race?

Has Ricky Tick turned into a racehorse? I took him off my stable list when he was a slob but he has had to turn it around to be in a race like this. He is a 3/4 brother to our horse, Prospect Knight, who is running at Philly on Saturday in a maiden claimer 40k, with a FIFTY ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR pot!!

PP's for the Super Derby nominations

Nope, he hasn't turned into one yet. Connections were way unrealistic after he broke his maiden at FG when they didn't sell him for reportedly high 6 figures, and continue to run in bad spots, he is probably a high level claimer.

He didnt beat anyone beside Coyote Legend, ok maybe not a claimer but only reason he is even in the race is cause he won the Prelude

Ya thats where I thought Golden Moka was going to but stakes guy in LA Downs mentioned Golden Moka and since First Dude and Exhi are going to PA Derby I am guessing he is going down there.

The 2 races are exactly the same other than the PA Derby has FD,Exhi,that IEAH superstar,and maybe Afleet Again-LA Derby has Ricky Tick and Apart. Where would u wanna run?

Its possible they changed, it is all up to Rene Douglas, he manages the whole thing.

Kudos to Rene for keeping Anthony Stephen aboard, word is that every jock reached out to Rene asking for the mount and he let Stephen keep the mount.

They went to the Super Derby it looks like, he was not entered today. That sucks because I was suppose to go with them to Philly, and our horse got in that day.

Cant really blame them. It is alot easier race then the PA Derby. I thought it was gonna be First Dude to Super Derby but Romans likes him up there and Golden Moka to PA

Good move for the connections tho and should be a easy Fave with a jock that knows him

But did you watch the race?

I thought Apart's performance in the Prelude was nothing short of spectacular, considering the trip. I'll have to check the sheets, but his number should have been huge. An up and comer for the Blame connections.

And for what its worth, Parx could have had the same 7 horse field they have for $500k than $1 million.

PA Derby...

Exhi
Severe Weather
Afleet Again
A Little Warm
Morning Line
First Dude
Friend or Foe

That's it - no Trickmeister. The overnight is out.

Gotta love IEAH lol
Since they got him and all they have done with him is duck 1 big race(Travers) after saying he will wire the field and run FD into the ground. Then after 10 mins after winning a joke of a race,they announce he is going to the PA Derby. Well maybe there is a nice 4 horse allowance race he can run and win instead

Not to bad of a race tho. Odds should be nice

Back to the Belmont race for a second - Groomedforvictory in the same race for the 75k tag. I believe this is the first he's been offered, and can more than factor into state bred stakes esp @ at BEL.... my guess is that they're out of conditions, there's not a whole lot in the book for him and he's ready for a start.

What are the chances he gets a slip dropped on him Wednesday?

It's been quite a year for Godolphin. They have ZERO Graded Stakes wins in the US and just seven total wins...and only 4 Group 1 wins overseas.....three of which were in Germany. $12 million in purses worldwide.

Honestly, that would be like the Yankees winning 37 games.
