My list in order:
1. Circular Quay (This horse is awesome). 2. Notional (So is this one). 3. Ravel (I don't like the fact that he will have only two starts; at least he will have run two 1 1/8 races though) 4. Any Given Saturday (I didn't like his action in the Tampa Bay Derby; he barely made my list) Sam P. and Cobalt Blue are both improving, so I will be watching them carefully. I like Great Hunter and Scat Daddy a little bit, and will have to see one more start from them. I will also be watching Adore the Gold and Hard Spun to see what they do, especially Hard Spun because I really don't think that Adore the Gold is good enough. I don't think Nobiz Like Shobiz is good enough at this point. This horse is going to have to improve. I will be very surprised in Street Sense is even in the starting gate. I love both Curlin and Belgravia, but they are too rushed. Stormello, Liquidity, and that horse that finished second to Circular Quay (I can't spell his name...Ket...; Stromello and Ket...are very good, tough horses though) will get burnt up on the front end. I don't like any others at this point, but will be watching everyone very closely. |

Street Sense also does not move as pretty as he did before the BC Juvy either. |

I was there and didn't see anything wrong with the way either one of them moved (and I'm a picky biatch.)

Only two horses have a chance to win the Derby. The exacta will be Notional and Circular Quay. Haven't decided the order but they are sure to be 1-2. It's as much a lock as Smarty and Lion Heart were going in in 2004. The sleepers are Curlin, Rags to Riches, and Scat Daddy. No others matter.
The Tampa Derby was a nice race. But I predict that it was so hard on those two that one or both will be out of the Derby. I believe one will be knocked out before the Derby and the other will be done for the year before the summer is over. Neither of these two horses finishes the summer.

We were in the paddock right in front of both of them and NEITHER one looked sore in the slightest bit. I was just curious if you'd heard this from Joel because I know he was there on Saturday, and I was curious as to how you were so certain both horses were sore since you weren't there. I thought maybe he had seen something and told you. I also have a pretty good eye for sore horses (although I'm no expert on thoroughbreds) and if there had been something that stood out, I probably would have noticed.

I actually like him a lot... I think he's very talented, but that doesn't mean anything if he can't utilize that talent. We'll see how he does in his next start.

That's why the people that I am associated with feel the horse's legs at the two year old sales. They can't tell everything by watching them walk or just by looking at their legs. We saw some that walked sore at a recent sale while we were pulling them out and looking at them, and some of the others who didn't walk sore had something majorly wrong with them like a bad tendon or suspensory when their legs were felt upon. Street Sense definitely does not move as pretty as he did as a two year old, and I have never been a fan of the way Any Given Saturday moves, but it is not as fluid as it was when he was a two year old. |
