The Remsen is a nice race but hardly so prestigious that you'd skip a million dollar race where you would be the likely favorite for it and its $200,000 purse.

They don't care about money with this horse. This is a very wealthy owner that wants to get to KY in May. Tagg wants to stay in NY. His assistant is heading out to CA that weekend and I doubt he wants to go to Delta Downs.

Well even 2nd place in the Delta Jackpot and their ticket to the Derby is punched. It would give them the ability to campaign him however they wanted next year without worrying about purse sizes or graded status. Seems the right move to me and I highly doubt that an extra $480,000 for winning wouldn't factor in at all.

His ticket is already punched in terms of earning thanks to the Champagne. He would only need a 2nd or 3rd in one race to get there. If he couldn't do that he wouldn't be going to the KY Derby. The Remsen would be more than enough.

Money is not an issue with this horse. The only issue is safety and getting him to Florida healthy. I think he will likely go Holy Bull, Fountain of Youth, Wood or something that that with him. He is a very big horse though and he might just go the Barbaro route. I really think Tagg will go the same route he did with Funny Cide though. I would have to look at the race schedule but a race in Louisiana or Arkansas might be in there. 99% sure though they will try to go to the Wood with him, just like FC and just like they planned for Showing Up before he has a minor injury.

well, that post covers every possible route to the derby minus the west coast. that way, regardless of direction taken, you'll be RIGHT. lol how pathetic.

Actually it covers two routes.

Holy Bull-Arkansas or Louisiana-Wood

Holy Bull-Fountain of Youth-Wood.


Please show me the other routes. I wiould love to know how you read something more than that.

well, fc ran in new york, there's that route.
than the arkansas route.
the louisiana route.
the florida route.
showing up ran in the lexington, so there's going thru ky.

again, nothing left but west coast. you're some prognosticator.

a most amusing thread this fine afternoon. you got your george w., who will argue anything and retire to the the comfort of the home his parents bought for his brother and his friends. then, of course, you have your 'throat.' throat will, we know, go to the point of looking up words in one or more dictionaries to argue a position.

Classic confrontation of "Who Cares" vs "Who Gives a Sh**."

sorry to interrupt. just letting you know how entertaining it's been.... good luck today.
