Lucky got a 97 Beyer for his impressive, troubled run. Give the same fig to Noble's Promise, not bad at all for his dirt and 3yo debut. Dublin was 3 back in third, so figure about a 90 for him. Not a terrible race for Dublin considering he was 5 wide the first turn, and then launched his move 4 wide on the far turn. That's not the place to be at Oaklawn.
In what was the biggest weekend of the year for Derby preps, we saw a wide variety of top-class performances, such as Lookin At lucky turning near-disaster into a gutsy, thrilling victory in the Rebel Stakes (gr. III); Odysseus’ return from the dead to snatch victory in the Tampa Bay Derby (gr. III)...Read More

  • railbird33 · My favorite 3YO starting this year, BUT the memories of Point Given and Curlin remind me that 3YO can't make up lost training time or two starts before amile & a quarter. Baffert has done a terrific job with this colt. · 1164 days ago ·

With 4 wins and 1 place in 5 career starts, all over synthetic surface tracks, Lookin At Lucky will try conventional dirt for the first time in his career in the Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn. If he succeeds in winning the Rebel Stakes on dirt, I don't think there's any question that he'd be considered the top Kentucky Derby prospect for 2010. But if Lucky loses the Rebel, I still think that Rule has looked like the best prospect over conventional dirt tracks up to this point in the racing season. JMO.
