What the Nation is saying about the Arkansas Derby...

Win one, lose one. Win another, lose another. It would appear that Overanalyze purchased a one-way ticket to Inconsistentville. On the other hand, he just might be ready to pull off a Belmont Stakes surprise. Since his career debut on August 9, the Repole runner has a perfect win-every-other-start r...Read More

  • zxswordxz · Agreed with Lenny. The track and the fact that Joel couldn't get him to the outside. The horse is not comfortable on the inside and so is Joel. If he run, Orb win the Belmont Stakes! · 11 hours ago ·

While not a whos who of Derby winners this race has had some fantastic winners over the years, and seems to bring form to the Derby even if not the winner,Bode won me over last year winning it and i must admit Overanylise won so impressively this year ill definately have a dollar on him
Over his illustrious career Todd Pletcher has only won the Derby once in 31 tries. He is back again this year, but this time with his strongest hand ever. Read More

It's quite conceivable that Eagles band members, Glenn Frey and Don Henley, could have easily written about the Kentucky Derby as opposed to relationships, when the songwriting duo penned the line "Who can go the distance, we'll find out," in their song titled, "The Long Run."

  • ismalli · You are correct on how, at a minimum, Dosage lets us know who has the DNA for Derby-Contention; yet, you underplay Post Position, especially with regard to who's inside your horse. Q:Why? · 25 days ago ·
    like
  • Trackside · Ismali--I feel post position in the Derby is overrated...it is a long run to the first turn, and there is planty of time for riders to establish position. However, Post position at times, can be detrimental to some types of running styles, as a handicappers we have to evaluate if a certain post may or may not affect a horse. · 25 days ago ·

  • CauseForConcern · Looks like 20 could be enough points now. With all these defections, wouldn't it be ironic if they couldn't fill the 20-horse field? And, with Departing, Winning Cause, and Governor Charlie(among others) now aiming at the Preakness Stakes, it seems strange that the Preakness could be as competitive as the Derby? We have a little over 120 hours til the Derby, but, is there some doubt as to the significance of the point system now? · 25 days ago ·

  • mark kennedy · hmm mike were we watching the same two races? I think Palice Malice has a huge chance to hit the board in the Derby To come back in 2 short weeks after a horrible trip getting blocked in the la derby and finish 2nd by less than a length shows some true talent Hes only raced 5 times wont be 3 until may Other than the derby Has hit the board in all of his other starts hes bred to go long The horse can be placed anywhere on the track I like him I also like the way way overanaylze ran great closing kick. So what the times wernt the fastest there havent been many fast races won this year anyway Who wants to peak the race before the derby? · 31 days ago ·

  • ismalli · None at HRN seem bothered Overanalyze - Has never won two consecutive starts.Arkansas Derby, the 1:51 4/5 seconds that Overanalyze ran that 1 1/8-mile in the slowest winning time since 1978, and Orb, who some consider the probable second choice behind Verrazano, ran the third-slowest Florida Derby in the last 20 years. · 39 days ago ·

  • geldedridgling · Unless a horse is in first at all calls final race time is very overrated. In this case, Overanalyze can't control how weak or strong the pace horses are, and is content to site behind a soft pace until time to draw off and, as Bejarano said, save some for the next race. · 38 days ago ·
