Best Derby Prep Performances...

Unless I'm mistaken, I think he was referring to top 3 runnings of the Risen Star. He was trying to make a point, not evoke nostalgia.

But I could be wrong.

In that case, I wonder if we can include races when the Risen Star was called the Derby Trial. Taylor's Special versus the late running fool Silent King from the Delp barn was a classic.

Yeah - I meant all Derby prep in general. I see how I worded that to be confusing.

Actually, Badge of Silver's Risen Star win was pretty awesome. Other than he and Pyro ... I don't remember many jaw-dropping performances in that race.

I agree with Silver Charm

but if we go by huge payoffs that I actually got to cash in a prep

Sir Cherokee's Arkansas Derby

[GPK]

Point Given's paid public workout that was also known as the Santa Anita Derby

[Indian Charlie]

Fupeg beating The Deputy was pretty awesome.

My apologies to all.

Top three Derby preps--that is a tough one.
Let me ponder awhile.

Nice try (in the Hutcheson thread, too). Guess you're still smarting from the earlier browbeating.

It was so painful I don't remember it. But I am glad your life has been filled up somewhat.

Bold Forbes:

Bay Shore 1:20 3/5

Easy Goer in the Gotham or Bellamy Road in the Wood.

I though Congaree's Wood was as good as it gets.

[pweizer]

Monarchos in the Florida Derby was impressive.
