Do you really think a horse that debuts on Labor Day and takes six months to make his second career start is 2-1 to make any race in a month?

I would take 2-1 on him in either race to hit the board, yes... if I were sure he would make the gate. And I wholeheartedly agree the horse has issues, but remember who we are dealing with here- Dutrow (who could probably raise Lazarus) and IEAH (who are DESPERATE for a Derby starter). IF the horse is healthy, and maybe he is enough to make it two months, he's a legitimate contender.

I would bet everything I have that he doesn't make it past June, however.

Of course, I don't have a hotline to On.....I mean someone at IEAH...so I will have to trust the public comments for now.

You clearly need a facebook account.

I understand he may be under 2-1 to hit the board ( he will most likely pay less than $6 to show ) but even if he's 40% to hit the board, which I don't think, I'm not so sure he's even 40% to make either race realistically.

On your June bet....you'll have to find another bookmaker.

Oh, and they'd be much wiser to go to the FL Derby, as 3 Derby spots are available versus 2 from the Blue Grass- not to mention the synthetic crap at KEE.

I think his affinity to turf is probably coming into play. Another problem with putting all your eggs in the Florida Derby basket is what happens when you draw post 12.

Would think the pedigree would lend to the poly but who knows with that stuff?

Draw post 12...scratch and wait two weeks?

I haven't Andy. My film experience is not quite up to par with yours. I take it you recommend this one?

It's great. I think it's her first movie. She's maybe 14. Excellent movie. I saw it when I was a kid, it was my dream, Diane Lane falls in love with my equivalent.....a kid obsessed with the movies and the racetrack.
