Wow...Mott is considering bringing Country House back after two weeks to run him in the Blue Grass?

AR Derby more likely.

Makes sense. Thanks Steve. I thought they might try the Lexington even though it’s fewer points since that field should be smaller and less talented than the Arkansas Derby but obviously they know better than I do.

Signalman will be primed for a big effort to win the Bluegrass.

He had no chance to close from last into that pace. The kid even pitched him about 8 wide on the turn for good measure. He doesn’t owe me any money after the Holy Bull. I’m not giving up on him because of that race.
Your hoss should have been sent along after breaking well. To give that hoss the lead without making him work even a little is egregious. At 9 furlongs at Gulfstream it is a no brainer .

Have you seen this yet? Briefly - it has Signalman ranked as the #3 horse in the Derby top 12 and says he expects Signalman to be the favorite in the Blue Grass.

I’d be surprised if he’s favored, but then I knocked Harvey down to 8-1. I watched a work with him and Harvey in company going 5/8 and he handled him easily without trying and looked twice as big as Harvey. When Harvey worked back in 47 flat, it made me think that work was even more impressive. He ran well in BreedersCup juvenile when he was third by a pole. He might be a guy who can win the Belmont. His maiden win at Saratoga was equally impressive as Limonite looked like he would swallow him, but he fought back for the win.

That's a pretty bad opinion. I realize the Blue Grass is a hodgepodge of "who's that" but Signalman is not much horse.

He can't get into any race that is oversubscribed.

Anybody know whether the Arkansas Derby will be on Fox Sports channel or not and if so, will they also have the Oaklawn Handicap, Count Fleet and other races?

Watching some replays, Dressman would be intriguing in the Wood. Watch his trip at Oaklawn on Rebel day.

I’m trying to recall - didn’t he have a pretty bad start to that race?
