Govenor Charlie & Midnight Lucky Roll at Sunland

Govenor Charlie's stellar performance in the Grade III Sunland Derby was an exclamation point for owner Mike Pegram and trainer Bob Baffert who also dominated the $200,000 Sunland Parks Oaks with the exquisite filly Midnight Lucky.Read More

Sully · 1st time lasix just seals the deal with me for Departing. He should romp. Like Departing, Ground Transport did not have the greatest trip in the LA Derby, so I like him coming home 2nd. I'm looking for a big race from Dewey Square to get 3rd, and Siete De Oros is ultra consistent to round out the super. · 30 days ago ·

travel_vic · Furosemide the biggest LIE every incorporated into the racing game. Decreased platelet adhesion (ONE OF THE BIG side effects of Bute), in other words PROMOTE bleeding and then come along and think (EVEN while Bute is still in the system) it will not create even more capillary fagility and the loss the the plug function that platelets are called in to do. Horse may improve, but it won't be because of Lasix....In objective studies of final times, only geldings showed any, and that was barely statistically significant.....No one questions the dogma even though it continues to leach Calcium ions out of newly laid down bone in babies....Pharmacological insanity over which as a human practitioner might lose their license · 30 days ago ·

head_heart_hooves · travel_vic: I understand the drug interaction. The studies I was referring to were the "objective studies of final times." Also, believing in aliens and believing that a loop diuretic makes horse run faster are two far different things. If your argument is that everyone should not only focus on furosemide but also phenylbutazone, et al, then I'm for it. If not, you will need to clarify for me. · 29 days ago ·

Sully · Just for the record, I don't recall ever saying Departing is going to run faster because he's getting lasix. From a handicapping angle (all handicappers understand that's all we have to go on most of the time to set us apart from the crowd), first time lasix is usually a sign that something did not go right in the last race, and they're attempting to fix it. Thus I view it as a "drug" that prevents problems, not a performance enhancer like steroids. That is all. · 29 days ago ·

Mary Z. · It's a 9f, so, distance-wise it's a test(like you said, Matt), and it was foolish of top contenders, that need points, but will be fighting for those by competing with other top contenders, for instance in Florida, to not swoop into New Mexico and pick up these available points, and not to be boring/redundant, but I already said this on another thread/other threads. Also, it was a criminal act to not include the Illinois Derby as a Kentucky Derby points race--that whole malice aforethought thing. "Free The Illinois Derby." · 59 days ago ·

buds · Lets keep it how it is. If a trainer wants the points for the horse, they should ship the horse in to NM and run. I dont understand why a horse that has stamina pedigree wouldnt choose this over an 8.5 f race. Seems to me there ought to be more 9 f prep races. Then we might get more than a handful of horses in the Kentucky derby that can make the distance. The folks that make up the system have already eliminated all the 7 furlong races, making it a point that they dont want sprinters in the derby. Too many horses run the 8.5 furlong races like a sprint, only to get passed like they are standing still coming down the stretch. They still make the derby finishing in the money. I still cant figure out why this race didn’t draw a better field. · 59 days ago ·

Mike in SB · While this year is a pretty weak field on paper, I believe as the trainers adapt to the new system this race will start to attract better horses. In a few years, under the same system, the Sunland Derby could become a very good race. One of the best things about the new system to me is how it will strengthen the traditional prep, the 100 point races are all looking very strong compared to recent years, and in the case of the Sunland Derby the new system will help create an important race in New Mexico. This is good for the fans and bettors in the Southwest. · 59 days ago ·

CauseForConcern · There seems to be something wrong with this formula. With the point system in place, this race should have not been ignored. To add to the lure, $800K is a nice purse. To see that five of the nine starters only have a maiden win to their credit, and three of those, in their last race. I am curious as to how the Illinois Derby might be shaping up this year? If there is something of a strong field, could it be a statement being made by the horsemen? · 58 days ago ·
