Hey Steve have you heard anything on Comedero? He's from Arkansas and been running pretty good this year.

??

Like he's going to be in bigger races, what did he think of his win yesterday. Things like that.Not very many Arkansas breeds run as good as he is with a couple beyers at or near 100.

And how the heck did Comedero run in a state-bred stake at Louisiana Downs in October '09?

Probably cause the people in LA don't know, oh, nevermind.

Not sure if it was his owner or trainer on hrtv after the race said they were going to run in some 400k stake at charlestown..

They run the Razorback Futurity at Louisiana Downs because there's no other place to run Arkansas-bred 2yo's. Oaklawn is only open January-April.

The "correct" dirt Beyers, based on what the way they used to be done, instead of the made-up versions above:

R1 ALW 8.5F 82
R3 ALW 6F 76
R4 ALW 8.5F 68
R6 3YO G3 6F 98
R8 3U G3 8.5F 97
R10 3U G3 6F 99
R12 3YO G1 9.5F 106
R13 3YO MSW 6F 75

Tune in to ATR occasionally.. A lot of this kind of stuff gets covered. Had talked about Stidham's thoughts after I saw the impressive Arky-bred in person in the Blue and Gold at Charles Town. Also spent a good deal of time with Michael and the connections at Pimlico Saturday, and ran into Albarado when he came across to the infield side to watch the feature. Everyone is in agreement... Comedero is a runnin' fool. Albarado did not ask him at any time for run Saturday. Not a moment. Has upside yet to come. He's going back to Charles Town for the $400,000 race next month before addressing the summer sprint schedule. King's Bishop certainly the summer target.

Also entering the 3yo sprinting radar screen Saturday was Kimmel's FRIEND OR FOE, a Chet and Mary Broman production that Beyered 95 in the heel-clip, spill-marred 1st at Belmont.

The list of solid NY Bred 3YOs keeps on growing.

10 days for Coa for that Friday race. Can't see him appealing that either. Lucky no one was killed.
