The trend continues

MMM must be a freak ,cuz he actually started 8 times before the Derby. The other 3 horses in the super started a total of 14 times (4 for the winner and 5's for the second and fourth place finishers). At this rate horses will probably be going from their maiden breaker right to "the big race" within the next few years.
That ought to make handicapping the Derby or latching onto something you really like, a real treat. :sleeping: :confused: :bang: :ThmbDown:

Hopefully by 2025 we'll get to see a derby with all first time starters.The emphasis will be all on the breeding:cool:

they trained mucho man to be a good horse, and that is precisely what ritvo has here.

the bigger trainers work their hroses in the morning instead of racing them in the afternoon,. 1 race is worth about 5 works in my book.
