What the Nation is saying about the 2013 Gulfstream Park Derby (LS)...

Unlike The Dark Horse, Chris Sorenson, who is taking the safe pick in Orb, I believe Itsmyluckyday has the ability to pull off a Kentucky Derby surprise.Read More

  • amino998 · Interesting angle, but if Orb doesn't run his race for any of many possible reasons, IMLD could be best of the rest at a fat price. · 18 days ago ·

  • dani.pugh · Funny Cide had the lead turning for home in the Wood, had it for a short time in the stretch before Empire Maker passed him. It was not by daylight, but under a hand ride. So, if we are being picky, it happened exactly 10 years ago. · 17 days ago ·

Have you ever looked at a trainer or an owner and just thought, “wow, what a whiner, what a baby. Just shut up and do what is best for your horse?” Right now, I’m looking at several who are moaning and whining about the new Derby Points system and thinking that exact quote.Read More

  • streetsensefan · Really Laura? The point system is flawed. Think about this, 2 yr old BC champion may not qualify, no points for the Illinois Derby, I remeber War Emblem, an Illinois Derby winner , wiring the field to win the kentucky derby, Mine that Bird would not have qualified in 2009 based on this point system. As the next few months unfold, there will be heartbreak stories of good horses missing the derby. I already see on two of the three favorites in the Florida derby getting to the derby. The new players at Churchill have no concept of how to run a racetrack. Look a the number of nominations this year for Derby, all time low, proably becasue Don Richardson isn't there anymore. Laura, don't kid yourself that this is a good system.... · 63 days ago ·

  • AmbitiousD · Streetsensefan, I dont think it is completely valid to say those horses you mentioned would not have qualified. If the points system existed during those years, the trainers would have likely taken alternative paths to get their mounts into the race. The point system may not be perfect, but it emphasizes horses being at top form during the right time of year. To me the best potential long term effect of the points system will do is alter the mindset of breeders to try and breed horses to run 68 second 6 furlong races as two year olds and shift to try and breed 120 second 10 furlong horses as 3 year olds. · 63 days ago ·

Sophomore Soiree day at Gulfstream Park ended up being a veritable tour de force for many of the winners. Four stakes races for 3-YOs were on today’s card, but it was not just the stakes runners that were making statements. Three winners of non-stakes races combined to win their races by 20 ¾ length...Read More

  • Floridaf · After seeing her decimate the Old Hat field, I'm really excited for a potential match-up with Groupie Doll later on down the road. It would be nice to see it at this meet, but I doubt her connections would want to run KK against her elders so early in the year. · 138 days ago ·
