To each their own concerning Scat Daddy. I'll give the colt one more start and if he doesn't show what I thought I saw last year, I'll toss him out of my derby stable. Simple as that.

What exactly did you see last year?

Whatever it was it must have happened in some secret race of his I didn't see. You do know he " ran " at Gulfstream a few weeks ago...right?

Yes, of course I know that.

Not like it matters to you what I "saw" last year, but I saw a horse I thought had a nice opportunity to improve as a 3 year old. To me, he looked a bit immature last year physically, but I liked his stride and attitude going into the races. I may have been very wrong, but I'm willing to give him another shot and we'll see how well he runs in the FOY. If he runs up the track, then there you go... this isn't a contest as to who is right or wrong. It was just my opinion on Scat Daddy. Who do you like, Andy? Who are some of your top horses right now for the derby?

Honestly, Cajun, I have no real Derby opinions right now. Geez, most of these horses haven't even really run yet. I know that Scat Daddy has almost no chance. His last race was dreadful and this isn't exactly a barn that turns them around once they go the wrong way. To be perfectly honest, while I think NoBiz looks as good as any right now, I wasn't overly impressed with his return. But, at least he did what he had to ( much like Any Given Saturday ). Scat Daddy stunk up the joint. I won't be surprised if he's retired much sooner than later.

I don't know how good the Risen Star really was last week but I do kind of like the horse that finished second. He showed some guts in the lane. Of course, it was a race that kind of collapsed. However, if anyone out of that race does well I would take a shot with him. What's his name again?

Yeah, him. He ran a nice race. A slightly sweeter trip and he probably would have won. He's got some courage.

I'mawildandcrazyguy or something like that.

Not only did he get pace, but the final time of the Risen Star was slower than it took Appealing Zophie....

Yeah, but he hadn't run in a little while, and he weaved his way through the stretch fairly well, and showed me something getting up for second.

He's probably not going anywhere, which could be said for that entire field, but I'll take my chances with him against similar.
