Knock, knock...
Who's there?
Orange!!
Orange who?
Orange you gonna open the door and, let me in?

My 3yo daughter's favorite knock-knock joke.

That's much better than my 3-year-old son's favorite knock-knock joke:

Knock-knock!
Who's there?
Banana.
HA HA HA HA!

Read in a few places that American Lion will be running in the Illinois Derby, as well.

Will there be a retarded person on his back?

Steven!

Out of the Rushaway with 103 fever. We all "mushed" him.

Distorted Dave to the Lexington.

Kettle River, after yesterday's scratch in the Lane's End, being pointed to the Lexington.

Small Field Seen for Keeneland's Blue Grass
 

A probable field of six 3-year-olds, headed by Tampa Bay Derby (gr. III) winner Odysseus, is expected for the April 10 Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) at Keeneland.

John DaSilva of the NY Post reporting that Schoolyard Dreams (R. Dominguez) to Wood instead of Illinois Derby.

Stone Gossard of Trader Pete's Boom Boom Room reporting that Nicky Boy (jockey TBA) also to Wood instead of Sunland maiden race.

So did DRF....an hour or so ago.

Brutal

I still don't see Nicky Boy in for the Wood.

It's not politically correct to use the word "retarded" anymore.

What's your point?

Game on Dude to the Lex as well.

Tiz Chrome to the Derby Trial.

supposedly nicky's boy is pointed to the ark derby, but the trainer was unable to get licenses here-which is probably a good thing!

Pleasant Prince is going in the Bluegrass due to lack of earnings.

Northern Giant To Ark Derby
 

Shocking news.

My bad, thanks for the move.

No problem. Haskin was talking about him last night and this really is a surprise because Lukas had been talking Lexington.. He's a pretty nice horse too, and doesn't need much money to squeeze someone else out...

EDIT: He has $127,000... Risen Star and Lanes' End money. $100,000 for 3rd gets him to about 17th/18th.

I was wrong about the money when it came up in February. It's remarkable how much it is going to take to make the field this year...

I agree he has some fast numbers....If he gets in, he hampers Sidney in a big way. IMO.

Sindey's Candy has no chance anyway...I'd book all the money I could on Sidney's Candy with other no hopers like Rule, Super Saver, and such in there, Sidney's Candy is a good candidate for the last place trifecta with Dean's Kitten and one of the Pletcher runners.

Heard that Quiet Invader is heading east to the Withers.

Especially if he runs as well as a 12th start off the layoff 3-year-old usually does in the Derby.

Lexington probables..

I saw these as well on Keenelands website. What happened to Drosselmeyer and Connemara? I thought connections of both had already confirmed they were running.

Drossel to Preakness or Dwyer now. No announced plans for Connemara.

Out of curiosity, what is John Sadler's fascination with "dave"?
Distorted Dave, Dave in Dixie, Line of David.... I believe Dave in Dixie and Distorted Dave even have different owners (neither of which is named Dave).

Does he have a son named David?

Steve, you can add Lonesome Street to this list.

Very, Very, Very unlikely. ;)

LMAO!!!:tro:;)

:eek:
Really? I guess I never realized that.
Let me rephrase the question.

Does he have a dog named Dave?

Yeah, me either.
The Bid always tried to convince me.
Then I saw him in person at the Ocala March sale.
The walk was a dead give away.

V/J,

Who's better than you? Someone should tell Ben Huffman, no? LOL..

Odds are much better on that question.
