What the Nation is saying about Dave in Dixie...

Ice Box, the unlucky second-place finisher in the Kentucky Derby, drew post 6 and was installed as the 3-1 favorite of 12 runners for the June 5, Belmont Stakes.Read More

  • cugel the clever · Yup - I was wrong about Ice Box. He ran a clunker. But none of the horses, including First Dude ran a "solid" race. Slowest Belmont in 15 years and despite a harness-racer pace, First Dude faded in the stretch and ran the last quarter in 26.8. There were no "champions" on the track at Belmont on Saturday. · 1079 days ago ·

Drosselmeyer grabbed the lead in the middle of the stretch and went onto a three-quarter-length victory over a fast-closing Fly Down on Saturday afternoon at Belmont Park to take the 142nd running of the Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Stakes in a 13-1 upset.Read More
  • cugel the clever · This was the weakest Belmont field in decades - the slowest time in 15 years and no horse ran the last quarter in less than 26 seconds. Despite setting a harness-race early pace, First Dude had nothing left for the last quarter. Even Drosselmeyer and Fly Down had 26+ final quarters, which proves that they didn't so much have a finishing kick as they simply passed tired, ordinary horses. Ice Box had no excuse whatsoever - some people are saying that the slow early pace killed his chances - this is nonsense. If he had managed a 25-second final quarter, he would have won the race (in the Florida Derby, he ran the last quarter in 24.55 seconds). Here are the final-quarter times for the first 9 placers, direct from the official chart: · 1079 days ago ·

After Belmont Stakes morning-line favorite Ice Box and stablemate Fly Down schooled in the gate and galloped this morning, Hall of Fame trainer Nick Zito was asked if his late closers would be closer to the pace in Saturday’s 1½-mile race.   “It depends,” said Zito. “Obviously, Ice Box has a gr...Read More
Every day seems to bring a new Belmont Stakes (gr. I) pick. What else is new?This year’s Belmont is that kind of race. There is no standout, and the majority of the horses entered seem to have a legitimate shot to win. Of course, as usual, we’ll be concentrating on longshots and potential overlays. ...Read More

Handicapping this Belmont Stakes comes down to an opportunity to wager on a relatively evenly-matched full field that will likely produce a fairly good priced winner.

“I know he wants to run that far, and the Belmont is coming up an interesting race,” said Sadler of the decision for that spot
We have seen numerous occasions when horses who do not have an abundance of stamina in their pedigree fall short going a mile and a half. So, you can do all the handicapping you want, but if your horse can’t get the trip, no Beyer numbers or speed sheets numbers are going to help get him to the winn...Read More

Updated 2010 Kentucky Derby Graded Stakes earnings as of March 31, 2010. Key contenders Eskendereya, Caracortado, Schoolyard Dreams, Drosselmeyer, Jackson Bend and Pleasant Prince will all likely require more graded stakes earnings to get in. Read More
  • bband · It seems like more horses will get shut out this year than in recent memory. What will be interesting is if Pletcher starts all 7 horses, fully knowing the lesser ones can't compete with his top runners. But what it will do is keep several real contenders out of the race. · 1146 days ago ·

The results of the Wood Memorial, Santa Anita Derby and Illinois Derby shuffled the order of the Kentucky Derby graded earnings a bit. Read More
  • Rossington · As well as he's raced over every conventional dirt track that he's ever ran, I still find it hard to believe that Rick Dutrow isn't going to take a shot at the 2010 Kentucky Derby with D' Funnybone. I really think it's a distance question with Dutrow. But that wouldn't deter me from taking a shot with this colt, because none of the incoming contenders will be proven yet at 1-1/4.

  • Rossington · Boy, that Florida Stallion Series sure must not have paid very well for Jackson Bend to be so far down the list in Graded earnings. I also thought D' Funnybone with win's in the Saratoga Special, the Futurity Stakes, the Hutcheson Stakes, and the Swale Stakes, plus a place effort in the Frank Gomez Stakes would have acquired more money in Graded earnings than his total suggest. · 1142 days ago ·

  • bband · One thing we need to keep in mind is handicapping the trainers. The wood is a race without a lot of speed. Zito has won some of his biggest races, by just sending horses to the lead (Go for Gin, Louis Quatorze, Da' Tara, etc.). That might be Jackson Bend's only chance to win. As for Pletcher, he's got a stable full of front-runners (Rule, Super Saver, Mission Impazible, Discreetly Mine) and he doesn't need one more in Eskendereya. Plus, Eskendereya won't win the Derby on the front, he needs to rate. And last week, as I predicted, Pletcher rated Discreetly Mine which set it up for Mission Impazible. So, all of this sets up for Jackson Bend potentially to be on or right near the lead with Eskendereya rating more than usual. That gives us a chance for an upset. If the pace is slow, look for Jackson Bend. If it's hot, watch out for Awesome Act and Schoolyard Dreams. · 1143 days ago ·
