MjHawk · Brian,, you brought tears to my eyes. This is what I've been feeling. This was not just "another Preakness". I thought I'll Have Another lost it before the turn. He was too far back, behind a monster who had it his own way. Bodemeister would not be coming back, and I could not believe my eyes when I saw I'll Have Another cut into that lead. It was inexcorable, but I still didn't think he'd get there until the last two jumps. It was the most amazing Preakness I've seen since Secretariat's. · 2 days ago ·

AmbitiousD · Poetic, Brian. Watching that replay, it just made glad that someone had the talent to put all that I was thinking into words. I couldn't agree with you more. If I'll Have Another goes on to win the Belmont I think we can all say he certainly had to earn it every step of the way. · 2 days ago ·

Cigar16 · Great commentary Brian! I watch my DVR replay quite a bit, and I always get such a kick out of the fact that I enjoy watching it so much. I feel like I a newbie, not a fan/player/mutuel clerk who has numbly stared at a simulcast signal for over 25 years. I have not felt this way about a 3yo in a long time. Often enough a horse will get you excited, and regardless of how good they are, you just don't get attached. Not the case for me with I'll Have Another. I just want to wrap my arms around this colt, win or lose, and pepper him with hugs and kisses! It is so satisfying to see him run as he turns for home, legs flipping forward, ears pricked every which way, looking everywhere, but mostly ahead, and almost greenly, he runs the horse(s) in front of him down. And as you said, he just does it, not because the race set up for him that way. He is special. I am really looking forward to watching this horse grow. An expose in a few years as he romps in his paddock will find him to be a jaw dropping specimen of the perfect horse. · 2 days ago ·

brooklyn.steve · This is the most excited I have been since 2007 for sure. There are many legit G1 type horses in this field, and very few horses that you can actually say have no legit shot at wining the Derby. I have gotten so use to the 3yo fillies being the much better crop, this year is the complete opposite. Nice piece to get me more pumped up and wishing that 2 weeks flies by. · 39 days ago ·

Mike in SB · I agree that this is the best crop since 2007 and another thing is that this group seems to have better distance breeding than past crops. A lot of the top 2 year olds in recent years were not suited to the classic distance, this year many of the favorites going into the Derby look like they will have a good shot at 1 1/4 miles. · 39 days ago ·

DeadHeat · Anti-Beyer, no. There are time where the man baffles me, but I'm not so biased as to say he is wrong when it looks as if he is right. I agree with the AD number, not so much the Blue Grass, meaning i would have put it higher. Time does matter, not when comparing two different tracks, but especially for a front runner or even closer time matters. Something I did not point out, Dullahan is now a proven horse for course, with two graded stakes won over Keeneland, both in the same type of fashion. He was well beaten over CD last year and I doubt we will see a huge improvement in the Derby. Bodemeister also has the Oaklawn advantage, meaning that for the last five years horses finishing in the top three of an Oaklawn prep, have been in the super of the Derby. Three out of those five times the horse has come in the top two. The Blue Grass winner typically does not fair well at Churchill, but more the horse that finishes just behind them ex...Paddy and Street Sense. · 41 days ago ·

He will not get one with Hansen on his butt. Union Rags is still the horse to beat. · 41 days ago ·

Yes, I know AK was a synthetic specilist going in, but his breeding showed otherwise. I think baffert will teach Body to rate, so if I had my choice Id go with Body. Not throwing Dullahan out, I just think theyr'es better ones in the field. Union Rags is still my strong choice. · 41 days ago ·

I don't expect it to happen. Hansen being caught in the Blue Grass had to bring doubts of his distance limitations. The Derby will have lots of horses besides Dullahan to worry about. I expect him to try to rate early on before stepping on it. The other angle is if Hansen lets it rip, Mike Smith has been in too many big wars to let Bodemeister burn with him. · 41 days ago ·

Dullahan has an amazing rally, but Bodemeister did reaccelerate in the stretch with a wonderful turn of foot. If he's on the lead in the Derby I think he'll get cooked, but if he rates I think he's got a good shot. · 41 days ago ·

El Kabong · If visual impressions are all that matter, than yes Bode impressed everyone who is not looking down the road. But if you are a serious capper evaluating what you saw in terms of who showed you a card in his Derby hand, then hands down, it was Dullahan. Let’s not talk time, even though Dullahan ran the fastest 9F prep race to date on a track that should have produced one of the slowest. He even the beat the kids on the LA freeway that was so damn fast that they finally decided to sprinkle in some sand. No, let’s not mention that, cause we’ll end up getting 8-1, right Zipse? Ok then, lets talk who beat whom. Dullahan schooled future derby runner Prospective and went by Hansen, who still looks pretty good to hit the board at CD. Bodemeister beat a pack of 8.5 at best nobodies, two of whom will prove that point by finishing up the track under 15th in the Derby if they are lucky and if they decide to even run. Typically 15 of the 20 entered in the KD finish 10 lengths behind the winner. When you finish 9 lengths behind anyone , in a 9F race, you have no business running 10F’s. Based on competition, Dullahan turned in a better performance if you are considering competition to be relevant, and where I come from, it’s everything. So you don’t impress me by beating schlepps by umpteen lengths. You do impress me by beating a winner who put up a great fight, but still had no answer as he watched Dullahan pass him by. So if you’re impressed with margin of length with no consideration of who is eating your dust, then score yourself some Bode love. But if you view these races as opportunities to help you wager down the road, Dullahan just did you a solid by throwing down a card he didn’t have to, but did anyway. And for those of you who still think he may have issues with dirt, ask yourself where his home base is. If you looked at the majority of workouts and guessed CD, score yourself another point. He knows that track better than anyone. When he gets a chance to run the distance he is bred to run on CD, you will feel silly for thinking a little dirt in his hoof would matter. · 41 days ago ·

There he was against much more experience horses. Stirred Up, I believe finished second to Bode finished third there. The top two had prior stakes exp, and had proven to be stakes caliber horses. If the wieght he picked up had anything to do with it, it was very little. Castaway is just not that fast of a horse nor is he that kind of class. · 39 days ago ·

I honestly didn't think he was even the best horse that Baffert had in the race. But there's no doubt in my mind that Bodemeister turned in what's been by far the most visually impressive effort of any 3yr.old in any Ky. Derby prep race today in the Arkansas Derby. The further he went, the faster he looked. I think this colt could've run another 1/8th of a mile standing on his head today. · 44 days ago ·

Arkansas Derby 2012 Preview: Bodemeister or Secret Circle?

The Oaklawn Park 3-year-olds take their final steps toward Kentucky Derby 2012 in Saturday’s G1 Arkansas Derby and Bodemeister and Secret Circle share top billing for trainer Bob Baffert. #11 Bodemeister is the 9-5 morning line favorite.
