DADDY KNOWS BEST put in a well prepared effort for STEVE ASMUSSEN. the winner and the second place horse, ISN'T HE CLEVER, were both broke and trained by STEVE'S dad in TEXAS. that guy does a big job with the young horses for many years now.

the speed duel upfront was waayyy too fast surprised neither jock backed off they were destined to come back to the field.

Big race by Isn't He Clever. Jock appeared to move a bit too soon. Good trip/ride by Leparoux on the winner.

[Robert Fischer]

top 2 finishers looked decent.

The winner is a bit of a plodder but he doesn't hesitate at all entering the stretch and finished willingly.

I'm surprised DNB won, given his turf/synthetic starts, picked him third. Leparoux wins his third derby this year and goes for number 4 next Saturday in the FD.

I think Isn't He Clever ran a nice race but was used a little too much early...I think his trainer said if he ran good they would try another race to see if he could get enough earnings...Has to be supplemented?
