I think Dale will be very careful in not making a decision too soon but at the end of the day Dullahan will be racing on the grass in the 2012 BC.

The Big 3, Hansen, Dullahan and Prospective all have their eye on the more important prize. The rest of the field is racing for a ticket to the show, so watch out for Howe Great or Scatman

Great Debate! Love the name I'll Have Another but Joel Rosario, Harrington and CC are on a progression that I like very much. Like Alpha, don't like Dominguez opting out for Hansen. Gemologist is good but a Super Saver connection repeat? Very possible. Both he and Alpha like stalking close but too close in a quick derby pace could be a mistake down the stretch. CC is ripe for the distance

Agree, great day of racing at Hawthorne. Surprised by the outcome in the Illinois Derby? Yes and no. Yes I didn't expect Done Talking but No because I knew a horse I wasn't looking at would likely win. Onto the KyDerby? Tough call. I like seeing horses that have a shot but right now Done Talking has a long way to go.

Still like Creative Cause's progression, think his best is yet to come. But I'll Have Another may have something else to say about that! Look out derby contenders, California is Hot!
