A win in a 50 point race deserves a spot but when should they be considered legitimate contenders?Read More

  • charliep · The San Felipe is not at all a good indicator of success in the kentucky Derby. In the last 25 years, only 2 winners have won the Derby, those being Sunday Silence (who won the Santa Anita Derby) and Fusiachi Pegausus (who won the Wood). Alysheba ran 2nd in the 1987 San Felipe to Chart The Stars. · 73 days ago ·

  • charliep · The 3rd place finisher in the Bredders Cup Juvenile should get AT LEAST as many points as the horse that wins the San Felipe or the Tampa Bay Derby. We're talking about a Grade 1 champioship race versus a couple of Grade 2 races, one of which (Tampa Derby) should be a Grade 3. · 73 days ago ·

The Derby Trail heads north to the The Big Apple for its only legitimate (i.e. Derby point system) prep race of the weekend. Do you think Johnny Velazquez took the mount on Overanalyze, leaving warm sunny Florida for chilly New York just because he could also take in a Broadway show? Read More

Think of Derby Season as a meal. We just finished a very long round of appetizers, namely, all those prep races or 10-point getting races. Last weekend we moved into the second course of this meal, the 50-point getting races. Read More

  • charliep · The new point system is stupid, as I have been saying since the day they released the details. Trainers can not take the top 2 year olds and PREPARE them for the Derby. Now all their efforts at age 2 are worth squat. If anybody really thinks that the third place finisher in the Breeders Cup Juvenile is less deserving than the winner of the Rebel or the Risen Star, that person is just clueless. · 88 days ago ·

Both Derby preps on tap Saturday, The Fountain Of Youth and Risen Star Stakes are similar in that the Morning Line favorites, Violence and Normandy Invasion make their 3-year-old debut, and are expected to win. If you wager on them to WIN, you may regret that descision. Read More

The question in this race is will there be enough pace for Normandy Invasion (and Mylute) to run down for the victory. Palace Malice and Oxbow should be out there, with Code West and Departing not too far behind. I also like Proud Strike, but his inside draw screams trip issues. Tough field, but I'll go with: Normandy Invasion, Palace Malice, Mylute, and Code West.
