patrick.l.mccaslin · There is a lot of people that like departing in the LA Derby. I know he is undefeated and obviously loves the Fairgrounds race track. He did race 1-1/16 in a 7 horse field at Fairgrounds and won easily. But against what competition. And fractions usally tell all. In the 1-1/16 mile race the fractions were as follows. 1/4 was 24.90 half was 49.76 115.14 140.32 finish was 144.34. The finish time was ok but the rest was slow to say the least. Look at the others at 1- 1/16 and these aren't close. I know he didn't set the pace and was just off as he always is. But if there is anything that is going to affect Departing it will be the pace of the race. If he can handle a actual fast pace then he stands a chance of winning. But he hasn't seen one yet. Good luck to all on Saturdays Races! · 54 days ago ·

His performance and him proving that he can stand dirt in his face and a bad trip with a nice kick when he finally got through has put him in my top 3 for the Derby.

Breed for Distance, America: Drosselmeyer

Can you imagine a Kentucky Derby run at the extended sprint distance of one mile in the not too distant future?Read More

Floridaf · Between Drosselmeyer and Redeemed, the American racing industry should get a shot of distance IF the breeders send their mares to them. Nobody seems to want to invest the time or money into the babies that take a little longer to come into their own.

Mike in SB · Another problem with the loss of stamina in the breed is the continuing shortening of the major races. This is a real problem, primarily in New York. Remember when the Gold Cup was 2 miles or even 1 1/2 miles and Saratoga now runs two 1 1/8 mile Grade One races, the Whitney and the Woodward. Instead of changing the race distance to suit the breeders, the tracks need to reward breeders for producing horses capable of running at the Classic distances. New York could start by making the Woodward a 1/14 mile race. By the way Drosselmeyer is a great looking horse! · 131 days ago ·

dani.pugh · I thinke we'll start seeing more distance soon. Look at sires like Street Cry and AP Indy. Both have sons that were proven at 10f time and time again, and are ready to take up the mantle. Curlin could be a good distance influence as well. There are plenty of high profile sires out there who can put a dose of stamina in the breed. Didn't Darley also get Lonhro? Breeders do, also breed to theses horses. Some do not, and some do breed for speed, but there are look at the way major breeding operations have gone. Adena Springs stands a good few stallions that were capable of 10f plus. Gainesway stands a Belmont winner, Derby winner, Travers winner, and one of Bernardini's most brilliant sons. Lanes End, while has it's fair share of sprinter/milers also has an impressive list of classic, distance lovers. Yes, there are some horses that are not bred to be sound, to be durable, but as you can see there are plenty of breeding operations that stand distance influences. If you really want my opinion, stop putting all the blame on the breeders and put some on the trainers and the tracks. If a horse is not trained to withstand the rigors of a race then they won't hold once put into a race. Many trainers baby a horse, but that does more to hurt than help. They train for speed not stamina, so how is a horse who is trained to run 9f tops, supposed to stay well at 10-12f without fatigue or injury? Trainers don't like the distances, so tracks cut them. Are breeders at some fault...yes, but lets not forget that they are far from the only ones. · 131 days ago ·

Major European races have been at the same distances for upwards of 100 years, you don't see australian or Japanese tracks changing the distances of their major races every five years.

travel_vic · In Functional Ultrastructure of cells taught by Dr. Sjostrand from Karlinska Instutue, I recieved the highest marks of the class for creating a new (subsequently found to be incorrect) model of cell membrance synthesis. OUTSIDE the box is where I live. · 131 days ago ·

goblin · t_v, Current research (since the mapping of the equine genome) is beginning to hone in on the genes responsible for speed,etc., in the thoroughbred. Myostatin (MSTN) variants seem to be partially responsible, with the locus known for at least one. There is a test being marketed by at least one of the performance genetics companies. The test is for colts/fillies already "on the ground", not as a predictor for the breeding shed. Here is a link to one of the studies--done by a group from the UK I think. Dr. Emmeline Hill is a primary researcher in this area. I believe she is part of a company doing the marketing. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3091701/ · 131 days ago ·

travel_vic · Granted but you are looking AFTER THE FACT. How can one GET that precise genetic combination into a sperm or ova, and secondarily will it be expressed in the individual? Many genetic qualities are augmented or retarded by operator genes that come with the specific gene is question. Linked genes are only expressed if all are there.......THINK about the complete RANDOMNESS of the process and you will realize that knowing that is FINE for the individual who is already here, but NO WAY can anyone predict it in a breeding. · 131 days ago ·

goblin · Yes, t_v, absolutely after the fact. The randomness and possible combinations during breeding are pretty much infinite. I do think breeders/owners are going to be using the new tests as they become available though. · 131 days ago ·

goblin · Yes, I have no idea how accurate the tests are or will prove to be. I find the research interesting, but realize it's being used for monetary gain. · 131 days ago ·
