Gomez; Espinoza; Baze; Flores; Enriquez = Santa Anita.. Cobalt Blue is a Doug O'Neill colt by Golden Missle that was Adena bred and now is in the possession of Merv Griffin.. He was an 'early' juvenile, debuting as a winner over a non-descript Maiden group at HOL before trying the Gr. II Best Pal at DMR in his second start (Principle Secret; Great Hunter; Stormello). Got hurt, and was shelved. Has been working since December though for the return. I'll talk to O'Neill today and see how he has been doing...

I think playa was big on an allowance type horse early last year as well. Some folks like to make the easy picks, some folks take the longshots!

Without respect to the horse's merit, it would take a tremendous effort for a 3yo to win the Kentucky Derby off of this kind of preparation. Two races at 2 in June? and July? Then a 6f n1x race in mid February, leaving very little time to fit in a 2-turn n2x, and a couple of stakes races to determine his quality, given the way they race Derby candidates these days.

I'm still on Liquidity, although the horse that finished 2nd to Buffalo Man in Ocala today (Green Vegas) also looked very nice and impressed me.

Just asked O'Neill about Cobalt Blue at 6:40pm on the show. Says he is doing fantastic; shiney like a penny and though they are playing catch up, still have a tiny hope about the possibility of a classic appearence.
A successful return Wednesday will find the colt trying the WinStar Derby, and they'll go from there... Says he very talented and will be a very nice horse no matter what happens.\ You can hear O'Neill talk about all three of his Derby horses on the "ATRAB" archives now: http://www.attheracesandbeyond.com/stream/21207c.mp3 (Starts with Randy Morse on Jonesboro.. Ends with me verbally assaulting Robert Cole (Shake You Down's "owner").. O'Neill in between!
