  • ajump08 · I loved Duke of Mischief in this spot. I thought he made since. He likes clay based surfaces, sloppy tracks, and the 9 furlong distance, along with the fact that trainer David Fawkes is pretty hot. Just to say David Fawkes was actually on hand, while Baffert, Pletcher, and most of the trainers didn't come out. It was a fun race to be on hand for, races at Charles Town are fun to watch in person especially with great horses and a few winning tickets · 295 days ago ·

Saturday's $1,000,000 Charles Town Classic has attracted a field of fourteen but only ten can run around the half mile oval and Rule is proven over the bullring configuration. Read More
  • ArturoLaguna · Mr. Zipse: If memory serves me right, Tackleberry beat rule in Gulfstream last month. Granted Rule won the Delta million in his 2 year campaign, but that was very soft company and a solitary victory does not make 1 proven in the bullring configuration. JUst like in his previous 2-3 starts, Rule will be a bridesmaid once more. So, I'm picking Tackleberry and Game on Dude exact box.

  • ArturoLaguna · Thead"or- I hope for the sake of the horse and the connections that my ruminations are proven incorrect. As a former international corporate banker, I just don't see Mr. Repole the successful entrepreneur that we know would even countenance gelding a 2 yr old champion. Even if UM doesn't run in or win the KD, he will still be on much demand as a commercial sire in view of his precociousness. · 301 days ago ·

  • Thead'or · If Uncle Mo isn't a longer distance horse as we hoped, he would do the racing world a severe justice in gelding this horse. We need sturdier horses, and IF, and I say IF, Uncle Mo isn't that. Why take him to the breeding shed? Hes a very wealthy man, he doesn't need the money. Uncle Mo could be an icon of the racing world. · 301 days ago ·

Tackleberry shoots for his third straight win when he takes on seven others in Saturday's Gulfstream Park Handicap.

The way the track came up at Churchill Downs, looking like a swimming pool, on Kentucky Derby day. I really believe that Rule would've thrived in the Kentucky Derby had he been given the chance. Rule had won the 09' Delta Jackpot Stakes easily in almost identical track conditions. I think the only question mark about how well Rule would've fared in the 2010 Kentucky Derby would've been if he could get 10 furlongs or not? Because he had already proven he could run well on a sloppy racetrack.
  • mshutty · I'll have to disagree...regardless of track conditions, the pace that day projected to be wicked. Rule would have been in that mix. However, I would say that he projected to perform best of the speedsters. · 507 days ago ·

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.

  • 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. · 650 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

  • 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. · 652 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. · 652 days ago ·
