On Mr. Big News, in the waning moments before the race went off, I made an exacta and a tri with him with Enforceable and Tiz as well as a Win/Place on him. My reasoning was those 3 seemed to have the best breeding according to those little numbers on the Brisnet PPs. On DRF, they call them Tomlinson numbers. But it was all for naught. As for his PPs, I really didn't like them. His last win at Oaklawn was on a sloppy track so I thought he might be a wet track specialist. Inside post didn't help Enforceable, but there are always exceptions to every rule. I can remember just a couple of years ago, one of those deep closer types that ran 2nd from the one post with an almost perfect trip skimming the rail.

I hope that Thousand Words is ok. So scary when they do things like that.

Has anybody seen an update on him
and that he is OK .

[JolyB]

Shortly after the race it was announced that he was not adversely affected by the fall and was perfectly OK.

The assistant trainer whom he fell on, however, had a fractured wrist.

[RUFFIAN]

Thank you for that
I have a tendency to always be more concerned over the animals

[JolyB]

In hindsight, the folks who paid something like $206 per share for an interest in Authentic may have made a decent investment after all; in addition to having bragging rights to "owning a Derby winner"

I wonder if that will encourage more opportunities for a micro investment in racehorses?

Yes, DRF saying he will likely start in the Preakness. I thought during the broadcast they said he hit his head, but DRF says he fell on his side which I guess could be bad too for a thousand pound plus animal, but those head blows are the ones that sometimes kill them so I'm glad to hear he is alright.
