What the Nation is saying about Neck 'N Neck...

A. Stevens Miles Jr.’s Neck ’n Neck moved past pace-setting Big Town at the three-eighths pole and drew off to win the $54,335 allowance feature by 6 ½ lengths on a sunny and mild afternoon at Churchill Downs.Read More

The final major Kentucky Derby 2012 prep at Gulfstream Park will be held March 31 and Union Rags is the strong 6-5 favorite in the Grade 1 Florida Derby. #6 Union Rags (6-5) has been part of my Derby Top 10 since I started the list last September, and he has occupied my top spot since last November....Read More
Union Rags will be a short-priced favorite facing eight rival 3-year-olds in the $1 million Florida Derby (G1) Saturday going 1 /8 miles at Gulfstream Park.Read More
  • Del Mar Dennis · Horse racing needs a good rivalry to peak interest. These two have all the makings. Should be one fun Florida Derby. · 60 days ago ·

  • KyOaksRunner · I think Union Rags is much the best here. El Padrino is a really nice colt but I just don't think he has the same ability as Union Rags. · 58 days ago ·

Wilkes will take his time with Motor City, but he is taking a serious look at the $1 million Florida Derby (G1) on March 31 for Neck ‘n Neck’s next start. Read More
  • Cardly Knot · A friend emailed saying Motor City pulled off the trail. No injury reported, just behind in training. Anyone else get word? Haven't seen any reports, yet. · 71 days ago ·

  • sallyeastman · I absolutely loved Flower Alley and I am looking for a great Florida Derby for this fellow. He needs to settle down and get to his true buisness. If he is good it'll show on March 31st! · 62 days ago ·

  • cocoa2 · Cardly Knot - I hope he runs as a 4, maybe a five before they retire him. He looks like he has skill. · 90 days ago ·

  • Cardly Knot · Cocoa2, in a perfect world, I'd agree with you. If he really did go on and pull off that heist, he'd be worth way too much(insurance wise to race after 3. And honestly, what more would there be to prove if one could do all that as a 3 yr old, nowadays? UnionRags had 3yr old form at 2, looks and talent. I'd rather see his offspring down the road, than see him crippled and put down at 4 or 5. Its all hypothetical per say - as Julio Escalante Canai would say, "Who Cares?!?!" · 89 days ago ·

I truly love this horse and his running style, and if he somehow makes the derby field, this is my surprise pick... loves dirt and comes from way off the pace...

  • Floridaf · That is very true, but Santiva has also run 2nd in the G1 Dixiana Breeders' Futurity in his previous start. This is definitely not an orthodox trainer, though. · 112 days ago ·

  • Winplacsho · Didn't think Battle Hardened would get bet down to 9/2 from 12/1 morning line, but he ran his eye balls out from a extreme outside post in his previous race at GP. The way he rated Saturday was very encouraging since he didn't pass a horse in the stretch of his first 2 route races. · 111 days ago ·

Considering I'm all-in with Discreet Dancer being my top Derby contender (a/o 02/03/12), I have to like NECK 'N NECK. He was 2nd best to "DD" last out and his speed figs continue to move in the right direction.
