DERBY NEWS (4/26): Filly in, Rule out; Lucky, Noble's work best..

[tector]

There is a horse who is working well, whose every race has been faster than previous, who is not a need-to-lead type, and who won a major Derby prep race, and yet is getting no mention at all, which may mean he will be substantially overlaid on Saturday, especially since his trainer has tossed a notorious doughnut in this race.

I'm intrigued. Call me crazy but....

I think him winning might be Impazible.

I would agree, but I am not swallowing Lucky's chalk (he just has too many adventures for me) and I am against all the speed and the speed-to-be-converted-to stalkers. I am also tossing any syn horse who has shown that the dirt is not his bag, or any horse who has apparent physical problems or obvious distance limtations.

Once you do that, you ain't looking at a lot--AA, Ice Box (a pick up the pieces sort), and...? They are all equally slow (or worse) past that point.

To be fair, I do need to look at the filly closer.

Sidney's Candy is such an X factor not knowing how he will like Dirt & also how he will rate. I dont really believe he is a speed-to-be-converted-to stalker. He may rate well naturally.

What do people think of Setusko (sp?) if he happens to draw in? He could be my longshot pick if he gets in..

Time running out fast for him to get in.

There was a DRF article late last week saying he was basically a 'go' for the undercard turf race, the American Turf this weekend (it might be a Friday race).

He would be a must use for me, but it seems unlikely he'll make it.

But I think he'd get wiseguy status and not be the price we'd like.

Keeping my fingers crossed but not looking good (yet)............I have him at 65-1 in Pool 2 of the Derby futures...............he won't be near that if he gets in.

He's a sucker bet if he makes it in, seriously dude this horse has burned more money than Charlie Sheen has at the local Gentleman's club.

He's been favored three times and won once out of those. He was 12-1 in the Santa anita derby and finished a fast closing 2nd.

Maybe. He certainly looks to be the most talented of the (former?) speed horses.

I hate guessing at the price he will now be at, however.
