PA Derby and Cotillion

Saw an article in bloodhorse.com.....If those top horses nominated go, these two races will have very good fields.

I only hope that they can handle the crowd. The first time that the Kentucky derby winner has ever raced at PARX (or Philadelphia Park, Liberty Bell, etc.). PARX has free parking and admission. 25,000 would be the absolute limit. Sheena Parveen is hot! Should be fun.

I was there last year for the same day (Will Take Charge) and it was more than they could handle then and I think maybe 12,000 showed up. Loooooooooong lines at all windows. The top level of the grandstand can handle a large increase, but there will be silly lines to bet. The first floor from lobby to track, forget about it...and then there is that 2 sided paddock. Will be crazy to get close.

PA DERBY

forget the cost of the table in the dining room.

Best tables are about 100 feet from the track, namely a real CASINO

Better to lose trying to win, then spend about 400.00
for a "gourmet" lunch.

Bayern

Looks like Bayern is a go

Bayern now committed to Pa Derby after working strong 3-4s today at Santa Anita, per Baffert. (Clockers credited him 5-8ths in 58.60)

That good news and makes the race more interesting from a handicapping perspective. Ilm not complaining, but I am surprised because I seem to remember Baffert blaming the short rest for his dismal performance in the Travers, and now he's bring him back with even shorter rest? I suspect the $50k bonus for the Haskell winner had something to do with it.

He's awful; the worst. I heard him talking to others this afternoon and he's planning on showing up early on Saturday to make sure he gets his usual table in the bar area. Good luck.
