Would Square Eddie be racing now if the Derby was in July? Didn't he break his leg two months ago?

that $hit is funny...

Square Eddie winning the Lexington will be a more amazing training job than DaHoss winning his 2nd BC mile off one prep in two years????

true comedy there!!

Wonder what HOssy thinks about that!!

The most interesting thing I got out of that article is the tiebreaker scenario should Charitable Man and Dunkirk end up tied in earnings, nevermind the fact El Crespo would end up in the same tiebreaker should he end up second in the Lexington.

I'm hoping for a win from Conservative here because at least his connections are a little well, conservative.

I actually thought the best line of the piece...

Three horses were dropped from the top 20, all because they left the Derby trail, either through retirement (Old Fashioned), minor injury (Theregoesjojo), or, in the case of Terrain, refreshing common sense.

I liked that one too.

Terrain has the same grinding, lollygagging, hanging style as recent Derby superfecta horses such as Imawildandcrazyguy, Steppenwolfer, Invisible Ink, Impeachment etc.

Plus, he's one of the few horses in the race with some real colored form ... I realize he's hopelessly overmatched from a win standpoint - and might not get the super fast pace to help him out - but damn, would he still have been a great overlay to finish 4th and add some value to my thick pile of skimpy Derby superfecta tickets.

Sad to see him leave for the Lone Star Derby .. where he will probably still manage to find one or two better than him anyway.
