draw a line through it

[whodey17]

Most years I can narrow who I like to 3-5 horses before Derby day. This year I have no clue. They all seem to be pretty even. Who knows how Colonel John will run on dirt, who knows if War Pass gets gutty and goes wire to wire and who knows who is any good. Should make for an exciting Derby.

I drew a line through the Bluegrass Stakes when it was a speed track, and I'll draw a line through it now. Pyro was not my derby horse before and I don't think any less of him now. Contender.

I think the race is a toss for Pyro and any horse that was running on the stuff for the first time. I just do not understand why horses that have soley ran on dirt would enter a prep on poly (unless it was a last chance to get earnings). Do the trainers look at it as some kind of stamina turf to dirt play? Last year I thought that Street Sense used the Bluegrass as sort of a qusi workout. I do not think he was all out to win that race last year (obviously he ran much better than Pyro did.)

One other toss point/question. Take a horse like Big Truck before yesterday. Do you toss out the race he ran in the Hutch because it was on the slop? If you do, why wouldn't you toss a race over a synthetic surface?

I sure will Cajun. The Arabian Nights party is always a favorite of mine.

Thanks, man. It's always fun to hear about what she has to say.
