he said he Lucky was moving great around the track but the talk on the back side was that he's not looking for the win. Horse is not fully cranked up yet for a top effort. Horse looks great but others are saying he's not fully loaded. So he looks good but the "talk" says different. How hard is that to understand? Some people's childern.

But I think Dublin is really tough here especially off that last effort which was phenomenal if you go back and really focus on his trip.

I totally agree about Dublin thats why I said in another thread " this is the premire derby prep so far" these 2 are both really big guns, and could make a lot of noise in the big race.

The 6 ran much better then I thought he could.... I still think Baffert and Lukas have 2 top top contenders for the Derby.

If I do say so myself, nice race riding by Nakatani...only to completely take your own horse out in the process. ******.

Are you surprised? Anyway hats off to lucky.

I want Ntamm to comment on this... He likes Dublin and liked the jock switch, I did to, but this was HORRIBLE.

JerseyJ · #30 03-13-2010, 06:02 PM

Maybe Wayne can get Dominguez back for Dublin in the Arkansas Derby...he should be available after Super Saver's effort today...As bad as Thompson's ride was in the Southwest, this one might have been worse.

knickslions2 · #31 03-13-2010, 06:03 PM

Just watched again...Lucky really came back strong

JerseyJ · #32 03-13-2010, 06:05 PM

Lookin at Lucky ran pretty good but I would have liked to have seen the finish had Dublin been given the ride that Lookin at Lucky was given.

They are both really good, why cant that be the case? One got a great trip and one got a horrible one.

Watch the replay. He ran more than pretty good considering how sharply he got bounced around and checked around the turn. I can't believe the Oaklawn race caller did not catch this in his race call.

Does Baffert own Oaklawn or what?

Baffert is the GOAT.

Wow, no. I just watched the replay, the headon especially he did get bounced. Still better then Dublins though, the premature move was A KILLER.

LARHAGE · #38 03-13-2010, 06:15 PM

Lucky almost got knocked down, how was that a great trip. Was that Nakatani that did that to him?

The race may have been a little harder than Baffert wanted considering the trip. Nice call by Baffert with the move to dirt. I wonder where he goes next: SA Derby, Bluegrass, Wood, or Arkansas Derby?

Arletta · #40 03-13-2010, 06:24 PM

I wonder who rides Dublin next
