I Want Revenge gets the good post outside the speed!

[LemonSoupKid]

What speed?

And, I loved it when Battaglia said, "The 20 is as good as the 2" ... when clearly it's not. If you have a Big Brown type who can start well and get around the lead without a problem (like he did in the Fla. Derby) only then is it "as good". In looking at this lineup, the only thing that stands out to me are how the 1-2-3 horses and the 19 seem to be in spots that don't help them very much.

Any thoughts?

It's OK, I don't think any big news was made in the draw. The only thing I thought was notable was the two speed horses drawn next to each other. They will both send to help their "hidden" entrymates.

When will the saturday entries get posted on drf / equibase later today?

I Want Revenge looks good where he is..........should be able to drop right in behind the leaders as they head to the front..................also not liking where Desert Party is as I think he is a horse that can hit the board if things go well, but being at the 19 he is going to have a long trip if he tries to go to the front and will be among the stampede otherwise.

I Want Revenge is in a good spot and will leave behind the speed to his inside.

Desert Party is the only one of the horses that I have been leaning towards using whom I consider to be negatively impacted by the draw. I am a little surprised they went quite so far out with Pioneerof the Nile, but I assume the rationale there is they want to give him as clear sailing as possible.

Why isn't Dettori riding Desert Party? I'm usually more comfortable with a jockey who knows the horse...this and the post position worry me now--

I can't answer that but this is not a new development; its been known for quite a while.

I think they felt that he gave a lathergic ride in the UAE Derby which he did.
