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

The five-hour drive did not seem too long after arriving to a lively atmosphere at the combination racetrack and casino. Trackman, John Hernandez, invited me to be on the in-house television s...Read More

  • MichaelPavelick · Ruffian75, Thanks, I actually uncovered that before your poast. Kind of surprise. Possibly any Baffert horse that comes "rollin into Iowa", gets a lot of respect or Baffert has a steady history of having horses ready for the Iowa derby. One victory in a maiden claimer, and another in an allowance race doesn't deserve those kind of morning line odds. His very respectable move against Comma to the Top, is hard to deny. But that was as a 2 year old & he lost by approx. 9 lengths. · 338 days ago ·

Their three...Read More
