It would be great for the track, for the area etc., and of course, I would love to call the race!
Worked out pretty well for Tiznow too. Who else is likely to show in the Super Derby? Also what are the odds if, say they opted for the JCGC, that Curlin would find a reason to delay the head to head? Doesn't seem like Tafel and Nafzger run scared so money might be on Curlin's folks to blink. I'm not sure they'll find themselves in a position to do that if the Super Derby looks better to Nafzger but just a thought.

Nafzger mentioned the mass cap, kentucky gold cup, hawthorne gold cup and jcgc as possibilities. No mention of the Super Derby.

I'm sure Carl had it figured out moments after winning the race. The typical, "Where to next?" question is the worst in the game. That's the last thing they're thinking about. I wouldn't put too much stock in the list of races.

Maybe the DRF should hire you?

That depends on your appearance. We currently have an opening for a grizzled beat writer for the arizona/new mexico circuit.
