D'Funnybone Tops Withers

With four Grade 2 wins on conventional dirt, D Funnybone has been one serious racehorse since arriving in trainer Rick Dutrow, Jr.s barn. Last summer, the son of Dwildcat won the 6 ½-furlong Saratoga Special and the seven-furlong Futurity at Belmont Park by a combined margin of more than 15 l...Read More

humphrey · Better place for him,,,,,Some sophomores, even though having theoretical distance capability, are not able to express it until later in their three year old year, i.e. Chief's Crown, Holy Bull · 1123 days ago ·

medlocke · Dutrow keep's saying that D'Funnybone is only a one turn horse. But he sure has been burning up Stakes races on conventional dirt tracks as well as any 3yr.old in racing right now. You only get one shot, ever, with a really good 3yr.old to try and win the Kentucky Derby. As effective as D'Funnybone is on dirt, and given that no other horse in the race is proven at 1-1/4 yet in their career's, Dutrow should absolutely take a shot at the Derby with him, IMO. I'd really be willing to bet that even if D'Funnybone didn't win the Kentucky Derby that he'd almost certainly hit the board. TJMO. · 1123 days ago ·

rossington · I can't really see any of the horses listed to start in the Withers Stakes being much of a threat to beat D'Funnybone. This colt is really good on conventional dirt. Why this colt isn't on his way to Churchill Downs is a mystery to me? · 1123 days ago ·

mdracing69 · D'Funnybone does not have the foundation to give the Derby a shot. If Dutrow believed he had a Derby contender he would have run in races like the FOY and Florida Derby. · 1123 days ago ·

Eskendereya Proves Much Best in Wood Romp

Eskendereya solidified his place as the probable Derby favorite while romping to a 9 3/4 length victory over a strong six horse field in the Wood Memorial.Read More

Medlocke · Absolutely impressive. No doubt about it, this horse has got what it takes, I think. I don't think he ever even drew a hard breath in the race? The only thing that concerns me about Eskendereya moving forward to the 2010 Kentucky Derby is the extra 1/8th mile. Today, it didn't appear that the extra 1/8th will be a problem, but today he was all alone out on the lead. Being stalked by Jackson Bend and Awesome Act throughout the race. At Churchill Downs. Eskendereya is likely to be pressed on the front end by Sidney's Candy and probably stablemate Rule. IMO. With these three quality colt's going at each other on the front end, and the extra distance added, could it potentially set up the Derby for a stalker or deep closer to snatch the roses? Someone like Lookin At Lucky or even an Interactif if he shows? · 1142 days ago ·

cityofesky · Please no one read the post above mine! Medlocke is truly lost!!! Esky was not on the lead in this race buddy! did u watch it! Esky stalked behind happy fella and jackson bend. You are worried about the distance on a horse who just ran 1 1/8 and didnt break a sweat? also he showed the ability to RATE and sit just behind the leaders, which gives him the best chance to win over a horse like Lookin at Lucky who always seems to get stuck in traffic!!! · 1141 days ago ·

Wood Memorial Quotes

WOOD MEMORIAL QUOTES Todd Pletcher, winning trainer of favored Eskendereya (No. 3): “It’s amazing. The further he goes, the stronger he gets. He’s a horse that has natural stamina. It would be big to win the Derby. We’ll try to make that happen.” “We’ve never had a horse we knew ...Read More

Awesome Act blows out for Wood Memorial

Gotham S. (G3) hero AWESOME ACT (Awesome Again) blew out a quarter-mile at Belmont Park on Thursday, putting the final touches on his preparations for Saturday's Wood Memorial (G1) at Aqueduct. Although the move was not reported on the official worktab, trainer Jeremy Noseda commented about it on hi...Read More

Medlocke · This horse handled the dirt at Aqueduct quite impressively, IMO, in the 2010 Gotham Stakes. Saturday will see a step up in competition for Awesome Act with Eskendereya coming to town. I'm very anxious to see how Eskendereya run's in the Wood Memorial, and if Awesome Act is able to compete as well in the Wood Memorial as he did in the Gotham Stakes with the rise in competition. If both run the kind of race that they're capable of running, it should make for a very interesting 2010 Wood Memorial. IMO. · 1143 days ago ·

All Eyes on Eskendereya in Wood Memorial

Headed by Eskendereya, the foremost member of the formidable Todd Squad, and Awesome Act, the English import whose impressive victory in the Gotham put him firmly on the Triple Crown trail, a field of six will assemble at Aqueduct Racetrack Saturday for the 86th running of the Grade 1, $750,000 Woo...Read More

arazi · I think most people are expecting Eskendereya to waltz over the Wood field. But let's keep in mind that this is a prep for the Derby, and although Pletcher would like to have the favorite, he's got a barn full of frontrunners and doesn't need one more. Just like they rated Discreetly Mine last week in the Louisiana Derby, I would expect them to rate big "E". Most Happy Fella should grab the lead, and depending on what Jackson Bend and Schoolyard Dreams throw at Eskendereya, it could be a bit of a dogfight and it could certainly set up for Awesome Act. · 1145 days ago ·

rossington · I think Eskendereya is definitely one of the more talented 3yr.old prospects for the 2010 Kentucky Derby. But, IMO, I'm not sure that he rates any higher on the front end than his stablemate Rule does. And like Rule in the Florida Derby, the Wood Memorial should set up to tell us if Eskendereya has more staying power in the stretch than Rule. If he's got staying power, he should win the Wood Memorial. If he fades in the stretch, like Rule did in the Florida Derby, it won't surprise me at all to see Awesome Act sweep right on by him to the wire. Just like he swept by the Gotham Stakes field at Aqueduct earlier in the year. TJMO. · 1145 days ago ·

mdracing69 · Wood looks like a match race between Awesome Act and Eskendereya. I am sure Pletcher would be happy with a solid 1-2 finish from his FOY winner. No reason to be fully cranked. Awesome Act has only raced once this year and needs a stiff test. He's the value play. The Tampa Bay Derby was an ugly race visually, so I cannot back Schoolyard Dreams. · 1144 days ago ·

musket man · I gotta agree w/ qrich3 that Schoolyard Dreams is the one whos gonna be taking my money in this race. This colt has an explosive turn of foot and if the rider waited another 8th of a mile you wouldnt be saying the Tampa Bay Derby wasn't visually impressive mdracing. Also, don't forget that the Oldsmar Oval got hammered with 2 inches of rain the night before the Tampa Derby, so theres no reason to look into the slow times for the final 16th of the race. Finally, on the Tampa Derby undercard, the filly race, the Florida Oaks (g3) was finished in 1:47:2...almost 3 full seconds difference...going with Schoolyard and playing him hard off his 5-1 ML · 1143 days ago ·
