He actually is already in, the racing office failed to exclude a non-preferred horse (I think it is the 3 Actual Fact but I am not sure how that all works) and he is definitely in. Stroke of good luck.

alot tougher field than Sunday though but at least he is running

Looks like the weather is suppose to be nice also, and I also think we get to fade Campbell since he is named to the 4 so hoping for Cisco

Weather is going to be beautiful, and no rain until late next week, so no chance it will come off the turf. Yikes looks like they are making up grass races, 1/2 the card is on the grass.

Cisco...YES!!! I think he would be right up there with lead riders if he hadn't gotten hurt.

John G. Dooley loves the name, in the morning preview show on derby day, he kept mentioning him, not just because he was competitive in the race, but he said he likes the name...

So the Col. is definitely in?

Must be a good sign - this race is the free race of the day on Brisnet, I guess this is a key race for the day.

Go Col. Klink

More like Steve's Star.

Albarado was aboard Atomic Force last time, until he had a choice, and chose Steve's Star over Atomic Force. Why turf with Hillwick, he looks much better for dirt.

He runs his sprint number and yeah, the whole field is in trouble

I honestly think that the key is going to be two turns for Hillswick, more than the surface. He should take to it fine, but think he'll probably love two bends, he's caught two freaky winners already and looked like a serious watch horse.

With that said, I still didn't pick him on top.

They all kind of jumped, it looked like the horses were scared because of all the dust that kicked up. Does anyone know what the emblem on the back of the silks is?

BG logo is Bob's initials (I am guessing you might be being sarcastic but just in case)

Has to be, 5w2w and the winner was 1w1w I think, we moved forward, had to. It didn't help that Torres tried to tuck the horse but no one knew he wanted to be on the lead
