2011 Kentucky Derby – West Coast Contention Runs Shallow

And then there were just four. With confirmation today that both The Factor and J P’s Gusto won’t run, only four horses that have been based on the West Coast at some point in their career are left as contenders for the 20 spots available in the starting gate at Churchill Downs for this year’s Kentu...Read More

Loaded Rebel Draws 13

The deepest prep of the 2011 Kentucky Derby trail? No doubt about it … it’s Saturday’s Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park. I have a lot of great friends down in Arkansas, and they have been raving for weeks about what a great field the Rebel would attract. I have been listening, and they were right. 13 th...Read More

annmatt · I'm looking forward to watching this one...so many favorites: JP's Gusto (primarily I'm pulling for Joe Petalino to be in the winner's circle), Sway Away and The Factor. Again, my inexperience may be showing, but could the Factor possibly be an inintentional "rabbit" burning up the track and then run out of steam, setting up the pefect duel between JP's Gusto and Sway Away? Or, will one of the lesser known colts surprise us and be a new star? · 794 days ago ·

zatt · The Factor will be out and winging, the question is how long can he last ... my bet is he will not make it to the wire first, but he has a better chance of beating these at 1 1/16 miles versus the 1 1/4 miles of the Kentucky Derby. · 794 days ago ·

skydime · The Factor's fate lies with Saratoga Red. If he goes with The Factor, TF will be nothing but a pace factor. If he takes back, TF could make an easy lead and be gone. For his sake, I hope TF gets cooked and finishes off the board. Maybe then they will point him to Met Mile like they should · 793 days ago ·

jpinkertoncook · Thanks for a great piece, Brian! There's still time to jump on a plane.... :) I read this morning that Elite Alex may skip and go to LA Derby. That would make my decision easier, but I am disappointed because I want to see him run again. I'll be looking most closely at Sway Away and Archarcharch, but I'm not giving up on my namesake yet, the Gusto.. · 793 days ago ·

KyOaksRunner · Can't wait to see this one. I think The Factor will hold on longer than some think but probably not quite win. I like J P's Gusto and Sway Away for the win. If I look at the lineup too long I start questioning every choice I make...what a field! I love how strong the Rebel came up it's usually the prep for the Arkansas Derby but this year it's truly a prep for the Kentucky Derby. · 793 days ago ·

Sheba, Joe, and J P

I can remember the image like it was yesterday. And why not? I saw it enough times. The handsome bay colt, his regally arched neck so low you could swear he was looking between his legs. And those strides: smooth and effortless, always reaching out for more ground. Before the term “in the zone...Read More

Who is Joe Petalino?

The best trainer no one's ever heard of sent his Kentucky Derby hopeful out for a breeze last Saturday morning at Oaklawn Park. "Don't write about me, write about the horse," he insisted.

J P Brings Gusto to Arkansas

The Derby preps are really starting to roll and on Monday we have another good one, as a full field is set to clash in the Southwest Stakes. With the recent success of horses who have run at Oaklawn Park on the road to Louisville, it makes sense to pay close attention to their series of graded stake...Read More
