Funny you mention him. I was at Vinery yesterday and the poor guy was set to mount his 3rd mare of the day and couldn't get it up.

All I could think about was this being the polar opposite to Sumitas' legendary post.

I don't think Jackson Bend is going to win, but that horse has guts. No doubt about that.

Given his pedigree and size, I doubt that Jackson Bend will ever have to worry about that problem. (And I say that liking the horse.)

I assume the poster meant that Jackson Bend might not make it around the first turn, simply because of his small stature in a 20-horse field.
I've become an admirer of the horse, as he's shown more heart and determination than most of the 3-year olds.

I kind of like the top horses that have come out of that Flordia stallion series of races over the past few years (Big Drama, In Summation, High Fly, etc..).

I think Byk has already said it before.
Jackson Bend would be a perfect horse to point for the other Derby's.
he could really make a lot of $$$ if spotted right this year.

Am I the only one or is Donna Brothers just a first rate analyst? She seems to say things about horses- good or bad- that others are either afraid to say, or just don't understand.

It is also relative--consider the people around her. No wonder she stands out.

Every time I watch Jackson Bend come (no pun intended) ITM I think about taking him more seriously. I guess this thread is the icing on the cake (no pun...nevermind).
