What the Nation is saying about Take Control...

This upcoming year, Bob? Did anyone get a fever tally for 2011?
  • Mary Z. · CK, It is officially titled "The Plum Pretty Fever" LOL, but seriously, I would love to see Take Control run again, but I think he may just be retired? I check for workouts for him every week. Well at least he'll go to the breeding shed as an undefeated son of two HOTY's. · 47 days ago ·

I liked this horse quite a lot, and i'm sure many others did as well. He was on the work tap, but he hasn't worked lately, and he's four now, and only one start. I wonder whats up with this horse.
Bob Baffert was keeping his information close to the vest on Tuesday.The Racing Hall of Fame trainer would not reveal on whose behalf he had just acquired a Stormy Atlantic colt for $500,000, nor would he say what his immediate plans were for Lookin At Lucky, who drilled four furlongs in :48.40 on T...Read More

In my last Derby post, I stated that a new player (Take Control) had arrived on the scene. Unfortunately, the Baffert trainee has shin problems and needs a few months to recover, so he’s off the Derby trail. Barn also has Conveyance, who had to work for his San Rafael (G3) tally on Jan 16th. He will...Read More
Disappointment and hope run in tandem on the trail.

Call me crazy, but LENT...Read More

  • thedodge · Take Control is to green to make the Kentucky Derby his next start is going to be an allowance race. He needs the seasoning and will lack the graded stakes money also to make the derby a horse needs a good mind and talent. He is talented no doubt about it maybe second half of the year that's my guess. · 757 days ago ·

  • thedodge · As for Baffert be absolutely loaded, I don't thing so from the two i liked one Clutch Player died the other Tiz Chrome he's bred to route acts like an old pro has run fast 97 beyer yes only 6 1/2f. My worry with him he has short legs maybe he's the next Northern Dancer will have to wait. For the other's Tiny Woods Sprinter no doubt, Conveyance Dr. Steven Romans says Indian Charlie his sire and Holy Bull his dame sire are intermediate Speed (non chef-de race). And in conclusion Looking At Lucky has'nt run that fast so i'am not buying. · 757 days ago ·
