Well Buffy, MY gut told me that a Tiznow would win the derby this year. My pick is Liquidity, but perhaps Slew's Tizzy will get it done.

OK, then we are in this together! I do have Liquidity in my stable too so I would be happy either way!

My gut says thank you for the Pad Thai...it was sick of salad.

Slews Tizzy is a blinker wearing klutz who will find trouble. Maybe they can load him next to Teufelsberg for the derby and they can take each other out.

Slew's Tizzy clipped heels because the horse in front of him (Makeithappencaptain) backed up. I wouldn't call him a klutz because of that. Quite the opposite, actually... he was running with the reins dangling in front of him and managed to avoid breaking his legs. I believe we'll see him running in the Louisiana Derby and I'll judge him after that race.

Could be that he is just a long striding horse that can't stop on a dime... I wouldn't call that clumsy. Just needing to grow into himself.

Sounds like I have said this before...

It's certainly possible, I have not followed Slew'sTizzy much other than the one race. Teufelsburg (blinkers off in the last one )seems to find trouble in every race and yet overcame it the other day.

All Im saying is to be careful of blinker wearing dudes, many of them run into trouble on a regular basis. From his earlier PPs I did not see any mention of trouble w/ SlewsTizzy though, has anyone seen his other races? Does he have any trouble on the break? or in traffic? Why does he wear blinkers in the first place?

many of the horses who wear blinkers do so to keep them focused on what's ahead of them, rather than anything alongside. usually keeps them closer to the early pace. i read an article on dwayne, or as i.d. calls him, dranged, and he puts most of his horses in blinkers-many from day one. possibly comes from his days as a q horse trainer, blinkers are pretty common in quarter horses, where you want them to concentrate on getting straight down the track as fast as you can.

Pletcher has a fairly lightly raced grass mare named Cassydora who I think may do some big things this year.

Back in 1972 there was some 2yo who was a "blinker wearing dude" named Secretariat who found all kinds of trouble in his first race. I don't remember what happened to him after that.

Dude found trouble all the time, remember him trying to bite Angle Light's head off?

Rolled yesterday in the G3 grass race at Tampa.

I kept thinking she was going to stop for some reason.

I tried to beat her yesterday, she had walked around the track in her last start from the inside post (50 to the half), figured she'd be pushed harder to get the lead from post 9, still ended up going 49 to the half and 113 thru 3 quarters, none of my closers had a chance. She may end up being special, but I'd like to see her get challenged early.

Funny thing about Master Command. If the first half in his race is in :47 or more, he's right there at the finish, usually winning. If the first half is in less than :47, he finishes well-beaten. He's not always on the lead, but he needs that easy pace up front. Check the PPs to confirm. Once Liquor Cabinet came out of the New Orleans H, Master Command was a shoo-in, since nobody else in the field was going faster than :47 early. But watch him self-destruct against a field with genunine early speed.

i think master command is solid at best, nothing special im sure he can continue to beat weak fields and pick up checks, if he faces a real horse... corinthian, discreet cat, invasor, chatain, even a handful of 3 yr olds i'd say he'd be in trouble

My star of 2007 is gone... RIP Bright One.

You know what? I was on same page with you before. But something in my gut tells me he might develop a little more this year then people think. Sure pace and field make up allowed him to waltz at FG. But while I am not predicting a BC Classic victory, I think he will hold his own with some of horses you just mentioned. Neil Howards comments after race also stated he thinks MC has developed into a better horse. We will see

i just dont see it, even in his last race at fairground i just dident see the flash that the great ones show....

my typhoon could have a big year....

The monster this year will be Showing Up. I wish Tagg would put him back on the dirt to go @ the B.C Classic. 10f is his best trip. Although give the cup panel time and there will be a 10f on the turf. Sleeper horse could be neil Howard's Brilliant. As for the girls Cassydora is a nice one. HAs anyone heard anything about Lady of Venice? Nothing on the workout search. 3yo fillie to watch on the lawn is Romans' Zofzig.
