What the Nation is saying about Casper's Touch...

Mike Mitchell, who became the all-time leading trainer at Del Mar this summer, has a long way to go for the same record at Hollywood Park. But he is inching closer, despite missing several top runners. A win Thursday by Roman Chic was Mitchell’s 857th at Hollywood; he ranks third behind Bobby Franke...Read More

Looking for a Derby horse flying under the radar? Try these twenty colts on for size… Albergatti (Unbridled’s Song - My Miss Storm Cat by Sea of Secrets) After a hard fought maiden loss, the grey Stonestreet runner came back with a snappy win at seven furlongs.

  • gardenesque1 · You are right about THAS, Arbouwkamp. He was a short horse for sure. The next race will tell the story. He needs to pull a R Heat Lighning - flat first time back followed by a romp. · 454 days ago ·

  • KyOaksRunner · Soldat ran great, I loved the way he continued to kick away at the head of the stretch after leading all the way around. To Honor And Serve is a good colt but I don't like the idea of him only having one more race before the Derby. · 453 days ago ·

If Casper’s Touch is to put a major scare into his opponents in tomorrow’s Fountain of Youth, he will need to run the race of his young life to do it. Taking a quick glance at his competition proves that. To Honor and Serve has won three in a row, including two straight graded stakes to close the ye...Read More

  • TiznowReynolds · I'm a firm believer in Soldat and think he's got it today...With that said I've also became a fan of Casper's Touch and would like to see him run really well. He had every excuse to throw in the towel last out and he didn't. · 454 days ago ·

I've been high on this guy! I love his pedigree especially for the Classics. He's had a good work since last out and I see him running very well in the 9f FOY. THAS is my #1 right now and has been since last Oct. I also like Bowman's Causeway. So, these 3 are my picks for Saturday's FOY.
  • blooy · he looks good, we will have to see, i'm all about underdogs than bandwagons. but he does look good. on a another note he is a underdog in this next race. · 456 days ago ·

  • arazi · This is a deep allowance and any of these could step up in here. Shadow Warrior could be tough in here, but I'm curious to see what El Grayling does around two turns. He ran very well against Brethren at Churchill and ran a deceptively good fourth while wide last time. · 476 days ago ·
