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.

He won paying a miniscule .50 after looking like he would break in his Mdn 2nd start where everyone was all over him. He finally broke his mdn in start no.5. He's not much in my books, but heck I could be wrong though not likely. He's not much, even if he does improve on dirt. However I guess even Giacomo had his day so anything is possible.

You might be right but I think he is more talented than you are giving him credit for being. He has a nice turn of foot and he looks like he can run all day. He looks like he is screaming for 10f+

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.
