What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Rule...

Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver, whose Triple Crown hopes were dashed by an eighth-place finish in Saturday's Preakness Stakes, arrived at Belmont Park Sunday morning and will get a brief freshening before being pointed for a summer/fall campaign. Trainer Todd Pletcher said Monday that Super Saver...Read More
I can't wait to see this horse come back later on. He is my favorite 3 year old this year. I do think his best distance is 1m or 1 1/8 m....but god is he good
The last week before the Derby is usually an uneventful one for Derby lists. With no more prep races to be run, the field is generally set and fluctuation is minimal. But this year, the week of Derby has been anything but boring, mostly thanks to the barn of Todd Pletcher. Favorite Eskendereya...Read More
Throughout the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) prep season, there was no hotter barn than that of Todd Pletcher’s. The powerful trainer saddled seven winners in major 3-year-old graded stakes, setting him up with a seemingly unlimited number of legitimate Derby threats. Read More
Trainer Todd Pletcher and his stable full of Kentucky Derby candidates have been the focus of attention at Churchill Downs in this year’s run-up to the Run for the Roses, and Monday morning was no different. The four-time Eclipse Award winner had several balls in the air on a gray and chilly morning...Read More
  • Arrrgy · I'm losing respect for Pletcher and other trainers that are just running horses in this grueling race just to be in it. A true horseman wouldn't dream of running a filly with just 5 starts, in the Derby. Are we at a point where real horsemen need to choose the field based on maturity and probability of long term damage? I think so. · 95 days ago
Rule is out, and, according to Mike Welsch in the Form, Todd Pletcher continued to lean strongly against running Interactif in the Derby. The Toddster is down to a filly who I think has no shot, and two colts who I believe do.Read More
Trainer Todd Pletcher said this morning that Devil May Care will run in the Derby and is "unlikely" to be entered in the Oaks. Rule will not run in the Derby and he said Interactif was "unlikely" for the Derby. Read More

  • railbird33 · With the late great Eight Belles getting off at 18-1, it will be interesting to see her odds. A factor for my exotics- for sure. I don't think she is a "Winning Colors" · 96 days ago

AMERICAN LION – WinStar Farm’s American Lion galloped a mile and a half in the sunshine Sunday morning under exercise rider Paul Turner. Trainer Eoin Harty said that American Lion is on track to breeze five furlongs Monday morning under jockey David Flores, who has the mount in the Kentucky Derby. T...Read More
HorseRacingNation.com has released an updated 2010 Kentucky Derby morning line following the scratch of probable favorite Eskendereya. Lookin At Lucky was installed as the 3-1 favorite, followed by Santa Anita Derby winner Sidney's Candy (9-2), Florida Derby winner Ice Box (8-1), Gotham Stakes winne...Read More
  • medlocke · It really baffle's me that a horse as talented as Rule is has odds of 30-1? When horses like Awesome Act and Dublin are being made 10 and 12-1. Rule is much better than a 30-1 horse. But I'll sure be happy to get that, as I plan to bet him across the board on one of my Derby tickets. His odds have gone so long because he finished 3rd in the Florida Derby. For 95% of that race, Rule was much the best horse in the race. Velazquez has even stated that if he hadn't allowed Rule to get into that early speed dual with Pulsion, that Rule could have won the Florida Derby. Ice Box and Pleasant Prince still only caught him in deep stretch with the wire looming. If Velazquez allows Rule to settle right off of the pace, which I think will come from Sidney's Candy. Get's him to relax and settle well, when he hit's that long stretch at Churchill Downs, I really expect Rule to be right there with a chance to win the roses. I'm not sure if he can win the race or not? But I really do think he's good enough to hit the board in the Derby. TJMO. · 97 days ago
  • mdracing69 · medlocke - In a 20-horse field you are always going to get inflated odds. I think Rule deserves to be more than 30-1. He has not looked good finishing his pre-Derby works and continues to look like a speed horse with distance limitations. If Rule was a legit Grade 1 horse he would have won the 9f Florida Derby against numerous entry level Allowance foes. In contrast, Sidney's Candy rated kindly and powered home in his synthetic starts. I can definitely see 'Sidney sitting the garden spot trip behind Conveyance, Line of David, and Rule, Here is the DRF report from Rule's latest Derby work: Although Rule's final time was a tick faster than workmate Mission Impazible, his performance paled in comparison. Despite being given a target to run at and making up about a length at the finish, Rule struggled to keep pace while noticeably asked both at the quarter pole and through the stretch. He then shut down rather quickly once passing the wire, fading far behind his partner during the gallop out for the second week in a row. · 97 days ago
Saturday, April 24 at Churchill Downs was highlighted by a wave of Todd Pletcher works in the slop, along with a sharp six-furlong drill by Sidney's Candy. Missing from the five Pletcher workers was the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) favorite Eskendereya, who is scheduled to work Sunday, April 25.Read More
AMERICAN LION – WinStar Farm’s American Lion went to the track after the renovation break, then galloped over the muddy track with exercise rider Paul Turner up. “He went to the gate, stood in the gate and galloped a mile and a half,” trainer Eoin Harty said as he held the colt’s halter during his b...Read More

AMERICAN LION – WinStar Farm’s American Lion paid his first visit to the track at Churchill Downs for trainer Eoin Harty on an overcast Thursday morning, galloping a mile under exercise rider Paul Turner.“I liked what I saw out there,” Harty said. “He will work on Monday.” American Lion vanned to Ch...Read More
Brad Free: The Santa Anita Derby was a ruse. The sluggish pace -- 48.50 seconds and 1:12.33 -- matched the approximate par for 3-year-old maidens. This is no knock on Sidney's Candy, who won by 4 1/2 lengths, but the tepid Santa Anita fractions were nowhere close to the likely uptempo of the Kentuck...Read More
To anyone who thinks Sidney's Candy can be beat in the 136th Kentucky Derby next Saturday at Churchill Downs, jockey Joe Talamo has just one question:"Who dat?" This has been quite a year for Talamo. He appeared in the TV show "Jockeys." He went on the "Tonight" show during Conan O'Brien's brief sti...Read More

The Lexington was not supposed to produce a Kentucky Derby starter nor did it look like it contained any serious 3YOs and that was confirmed with Exhi’s wire-to-wire win on the Polytrack at Keeneland.  There were no other prep races run last weekend and we’re down now to just days rather than w...Read More
Rule's won four races in his career and every single one of them saw him leading every step of the way.  Three times in his career this colt did not have the lead after a half mile and lost each one. Prior to the running of the Grade 1 Florida Derby, trainer Todd Pletcher was quoted as saying.....Read More
