  • El Kabong · Fed Biz is the horse. Pedigree and natural talent. Plus, and I know this is less professional, I like the fact that a rider of Bejarano's talent and character came back to the winner's circle after that Allowance win with the look of a kid at Christmas time. He boasted, "this is my Derby horse buddy." Normally I don't get that giddy over post race comments, but this is a leading rider who has been on all the big names out west. He has been on Liason, Out of Bounds, Secret Circle, Creative Cause, and Rousing Sermon. To just chuck them all and make that statement tells me that the horse is special. I was watching the race and the post race. Baffert was genuinely giddy and noted in post race interviews that Fed Biz wasn't even putting any effort into the race. He was running with his ears up. green and didn't change leads until the finish. Bejarano noted that he had alot left and he felt like he was just galloping. This is the one to watch in Baffert's Barn and hopefully he will not disappoint. I have some future wager exactas that are counting on it. · 95 days ago ·

  • 12 Clip · The Factor is a horse that just keeps getting better. What was impressive in the Rebel was how The Factor, was able to control the race without expending any energy. For a horse who usually runs his second quarter in 43.0 and change sprinting, he was able to harness his speed beautifully going a route of ground for his first time and running a second quarter split in 46.0 and change. After he drew from the rest of the field to win by six, it looked like there was still plenty left in the tank. The Factor is both a speedball and a major contender. His jockey Martin Garcia has the right set of hands for this horse, and I believe he can travel the 1 1/4 mile distance of the Kentucky Derby. First he'll have to beat off rivals in either the Arkansas Derby or The Santa Anita Derby before we start talking Kentucky. Although it's looking like Arkansas right now, I wouldn't be surprised if Baffert changes his mind and runs him in the Santa Anita Derby. I think for a horse like The Factor, four weeks off before the Derby rather than three would be more beneficial for him. This horse has a brilliant mind, and has figured the game out. It'll be interesting to see how Baffert plays this ones hand. · 429 days ago ·

  • mshutty · The value of analyzing these prep races both before and after they are run can pay dividends. Here's the comment on Premier Pegasus after the San Vicente "Premier Pegasus ran a deceivingly good race in that he was involved in the early fray (hot early fractions), appeared finished but dug in gamely to hold third. One to watch as they stretch out next out (in the San Felipe)." · 444 days ago ·

Noting the tendency for frontrunners to stick around until the end at Sunland Park, Bob Baffert has selected the $800,000 Sunland Derby as The Factor’s next likely race. The nine furlong affair is a Grade 3, so the winner will earn more than enough money to punch his ticket for the Kentucky Derby. M...Read More
