We are less than two weeks to Kentucky Derby 2012. All of the preps have been run and now we wait for final workouts and the post position draw. There have been a few recent changes to the field. Secret Circle came down with an injury and is out for four months. Seven furlong specialist Trinniberg i...Read More
Zayat Stables LLC’s Bodemeister galloped 1 ½ miles under exercise rider George Alvarez after the morning renovation break. The Arkansas Derby (Grade I) winner is scheduled to work Tuesday morning with trainer Bob Baffert expected to be on hand to supervise the move.Read More
Today's Derby contender works featured a six furlong breeze from G3 Sunland Derby hero Daddy Nose Best. Isn't He Clever and Optimizer, currently 21st and 22nd on the graded earnings list, also worked on Monday, along with Trinniberg, Mark Valeski, and Sabercat. Read More

Isn't He Clever is now under the care of Steve Asmussen. The Kentucky Derby remains a possibility. He is currently 21st on the graded earnings list with $191,333.    
I wonder how Henry Dominguez really feels? http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/69141/asmussen-gets-isnt-he-clever-derby-possible
Trinninberg does not belong in the 20 but Isn't He Clever certainly does. The baby of the infamous incomparable Smarty Jones needs another defection to get in. Maybe Done Talking will defect. May Trinninberg will decide not to sizzle the KD pace. Maybe....maybe.....
  • notobsessed · Isn't He Clever has been beaten by Bodemeister, Sabercat, Daddy Nose Best, I'll have Another, Rousing Sermon...what makes you think he belongs in the Derby? · 35 days ago ·

I feel so incredibly awful for his connections right now. First, they are in the derby because Reveron is out, and then Trinniberg's connections decide to run him and bump him back down to #21. Do you think there will be any more defections in the Derby that will allow him to start?

Welcome to the last Derby dance Saturday! While the Arkansas Derby itself seems to be coming up lighter than in recent years, there are some BIG names running at the "Spa of the South" tomorrow.Read More
  • 12thCrown · Already changed my long-shot picks after a few more hours of study - I like Cozzetti as the sleeper pick but think Isn't He Clever will be tough with his stalking style. Good luck all! · 43 days ago ·

Isn’t He Clever was getting a bath Friday morning after jogging a mile at Oaklawn. Trainer Henry Dominguez stood nearby, none the worse for wear after a Thursday flight from El Paso, Tx., to the Hot Springs Municipal Airport.Read More
The Oaklawn Park 3-year-olds take their final steps toward Kentucky Derby 2012 in Saturday’s G1 Arkansas Derby and Bodemeister and Secret Circle share top billing for trainer Bob Baffert. #11 Bodemeister is the 9-5 morning line favorite.

Big effort at his 1st try at 1 /1 8 mile in the Sunland Derby. He just got ran down at the wire in a game effort after a possible premature move to take the lead in the stretch. Jockey switch to R.Albarado should help his chances. I hope he likes the Oaklawn strip as much as his daddy . My money will be on him in the Arkansas Derby for sure.
Nominations for Oaklawn’s signature event, the $1 million Arkansas Derby (G1), closed with 97 horses being made eligible for the 1 1/8-mile race, including several horses that had not been part of the early-bird nomination process prior to the Feb. 20 Southwest Stakes (G3).

I like this colt alot. He will improve greatly as his 3yr old campaign goes forward. He may have distance limitations but that is yet to be determined.
