What the Nation is saying about Informed Decision...

Retired and bred to Street Cry this year
It’s hard to believe it has been ten years since Monarchos exploded past the field early in the Churchill Downs stretch to win the 127th Kentucky Derby going away.

  • BrianZipse · While I agree with your thoughts on only two-races before the Derby, Monarchos was not one of them. Winless at two, he raced three times in Florida in 2001, before running 2nd in the Wood Memorial on his way to Louisville. · 288 days ago ·

Last week we highlighted our “Sleeper Six,” a list of potential Breeders’ Cup entrants who likely will offer extreme value to handicappers.
