MarkRodriquez · I really like the way he breezed in the Sanford. I think he looks even more impressive than Uncle Mo at this time last year. He rated nicely down the backstretch and coasted home. Looks like he can go a distance. The Racing Form had a nice pic of him crossing the street on the way to the track. This youngster looks professional. Just hope Pletcher doesn't mess him up like he's done to his other stars. · 200 days ago ·

Heading the field will be last fall’s Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes winner, Santiva. The bay colt is trained ...Read More

AndAwayTheyGo · My point is no one was talking about Paddy this time last year... he just broke his maiden the race before the blue grass...just because someone is unfamiliar with the horses or that the horses are up and coming doesn't mean they wont make any noise in the derby. The derby is by far wide open this year with a very inconsistent field. Don't dismiss these just yet is all i am saying · 302 days ago ·

BrianZipse · Oh no, I am not dismissing anyone in this field ... especially in the context of turf or synthetics. I think what JohnBravo was saying, and I agree, is that there is a big question what the Blue Grass result on this surface means to the Derby. Although you are correct in pointing out that Paddy did run well in Louisville. By the way, Paddy only had one win going in, but it was the Grade 3 Palm Beach Stakes in which he ran 1:45 2/5 for the 9 furlongs! · 301 days ago ·

RaTalk_Girl · He will have my money in the LA Derby. I didn't think his Risen Star was bad and I want to stick with him through at least one more race. If they leave Theriot on him, I may stick around longer. I am a huge Theriot fan. I think leaving these two together is a great match. Machen has issues leaving the gate and Theriot is very quick out the gate. · 341 days ago ·
