  • vodkak · Hey rifrafrox; For once try and get your facts straight. Never called you a fraud or even an idiot. Look it up and show me the post. You lose credibility when you constantly say you no longer will respond to Cocoa's post and then you immediately respond AGAIN; even lenghtier than past ones. · 36 days ago ·

Grade 3 Gotham runner-up West Hills Giant was withdrawn from consideration for the Wood Memorial due to a respiratory infection that that caused to miss a scheduled workout. “He was due to work today,” said Tonja Terranova, who assists her husband, trainer John Terranova. “He scoped dirty after his last work [March 24] and missed a couple of days. It was in his best interests to skip this work.”

  • travel_vic · Early horse on an well known EARLY track........IF this one can reproduce that effort anywhere close (and against an honest, realisitic pace) then the giant might be something to consider. These three year olds sometimes get good quick as Paytner did last year. · 76 days ago ·

  • gowithnybred · Overanalyzes performance was most like from the 4 month layoff and just getting to NY from Florida...He was rusty and is expected to improve...I dont believe its from the poor post position, as West Hills Giant was at Post l0 and Overanalyze followed him as he darted to rail. Overanalyze looked comfortable in the 3 wide stalking the pace setters. Only lost by 4 to 5 lenghts and thats a only a second. Don't count him out. · 76 days ago ·

my boy did well despite only coming in 2nd. I still like him alot.
The Derby Trail heads north to the The Big Apple for its only legitimate (i.e. Derby point system) prep race of the weekend. Do you think Johnny Velazquez took the mount on Overanalyze, leaving warm sunny Florida for chilly New York just because he could also take in a Broadway show? Read More

  • Sully · I decided to put a pre-scratch P6 together. I'm positive there will be some scratches though. My P6 spread ticket is 4-1,8 w 1,4-3 w 2,4 w 2,9 w 1,7-3 w 4-1,7. If anyone wants to know how spread tix work, just let me know. Just like everything in life, they have their positives and their negatives, but I like them to include "what-if" options. · 80 days ago ·
