That must have been a different Desert Party than was plodding around NY last summer. Maybe he didn't like the mud when he won that stake at Saratoga, but didn't he bomb in his next start.....or was he scratched?

Although the time was not fast, I thought Desert Party "looked the part" in the Sanford. He was off the board after a stumbling start in the Hopeful in his final start of 2008.

More impressive than Charirtable Man, Gone Astray or Hello Broadway/Imperial Council? Beating Brave Victory by 3/4 of a length doesn't say that much. I think this horse got overhyped while being bet down to favoritism in a very modest Norfolk.

By the time he gets back Lynne Scace will have him back.
