Turned on HBO and there was that movie again . . . Seabiscuit. Them good and fine folks back then made the game great and always good to see Gary Stevens. I was bettin’ on him when he first came out of Idaho and took his tack to Longacres. Always good to see the “Steve.”

Been waitin’ for this one. Should be fun to watch and bet.
I like the
horse, liked him then and like him now, but I can’t see how he beats the
. If you take a look at the pps for the
and the compare his pps to the
and the
runnin' in the Fountain of Youth, the
appears to be the classier horse. He lost his first and third by less than a combined two lengths and had he won, he’d be ranked near the top of the Experimental Free Handicap and be considered an elite two-year-old
Dual Qualifier. Gotta think he is classier than the numbers indicate and no doubt a class about this group. He comes back in less than a month and that was some concern but his two works were short and strong and he appears to be dialed in tight. May show more early speed.
Who runs 2nd, 3rd and 4th? The Lukas trained number
is actually ranked above El Padrino on the EFH and shows two bullets w/a jock switch. If the BCJ didn’t ruin him, he may surprise. The
is ranked one pound below the
on the EFH and shows two nice works and was closing on the top two in the Lecomte – should be tough w/a decent trip. The
horse shows three works, two of them solid while the
horse shows one work - don't understand what Jones is thinkin' here; nod goes to the
.
I believe it is Mardi Gras weekend there in the Big Easy so ya' gotta think there is gonna be a whole lot of shakin' goin' on - track should be overflowing with people and beer! Maybe the locals will overbet the
and the
and overlook the
and the
. If the Pletcher and Ness haters sign in and bet against, maybe I’ll get 2/1.
Best of racin’ luck.
Nothin’ like the Derby Trail. Lookin’ forward to the Risen Star!
