Master of Hounds or The Hound of Louisville?

With each passing day it appears more likely there will be a new beast roaming the moors of Louisville just in time for Derby. Master conditioner Aidan O’Brien has announced that as long as Master of Hounds does well in his final work at Ballydoyle, the son of Kingmambo will be jettisoned on to Kent...Read More

medlocke · I've seen every race replay that Master of Hounds has had in Ireland, Great Britain, America, and Dubai. The Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf was by far his poorest outing. But this colt has faced top level, G1 competition already in his career. He was beaten a length by his stablemate, Roderic O'Connor, who went on to win the G1 Criterium De Saint-Cloud in France, and he also ran a fantastic 2nd to Frankel in the Dewhurst Stakes. Master of Hounds also ran 3rd himself in the G1 Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster. Behind Godolphin's star colt, Casamento, and another of his stablemate's, Seville. But his run in the UAE Derby was really impressive, IMO. Especially for a first ever start on synthetics. Master of Hounds really had the UAE Derby won and got mugged right on the wire by a very classy filly in Khawlah. Who had also taken the UAE Oaks. If Master of Hounds can get his European turf form and his synthetic form from Dubai to translate over to conventional dirt? This colt could very well have a huge say in the outcome of this year's Kentucky Derby. Aidan O'Brien is really a magnificent trainer, and trains some of the very best horses in the world for Ballydoyle in Ireland. He's very selective about when and where he races his horses. So I don't think he'd be sending Master of Hounds all the way from Ireland to America unless he felt this colt's chances of winning the Kentucky Derby were 100% legit. TJMO. · 399 days ago ·

mshutty · Mr. O'Brien certainly had to learn something from his past attempts with horses in the Derby including Castle Gandolfo and Johannesburg. Without question, Master of Hounds is top grade colt. My only concern for forwardly placed Euro turf/sythetics going to dirt in a race like the Derby is that the pace will be hotter than anything Master of Hounds has encountered before, he's also a bit short as Aiden had confirmed post the UAE Derby with only one race in 2011. Plus, just don't know how this one will take the to the kick back. I love that he is coming to compete adding more intrigue. Plus, there's no question he'll be a pace factor. · 398 days ago ·
