This has to be the derby crop with the absolute worst luck out of any crop I’ve ever seen. 3 are deceased now. The rest aside from Thunder Snow never won a G1 after the Triple Crown trial. Not even sure the few still running could win a G3 at this point. :(

😭😭😭

Should be a good race with this strong field. Mind control, hidden scroll, and instagrand could all win this

I do not think best was dead set on even making the derby

I do not think his owner really cared to make the derby. He stated last year the reason he put insta on the shelf was because he wanted him prime for Haskell, travers and a four year old campaign. Imo if he wins the pay day mike they may take a stab at the Preakness. He could be dangerous there if he gets a front running trip as hell have more fitness being his fourth race of the year.

Yep. Something they won’t get as much hate for as winx’s connections did though of course.

Gasp. You mean horses don’t always do well after traveling? 😱🤦🏻‍♀️ Glad they are going the right thing and taking care of the horse. People act like traveling the world is an easy thing on a horse. Not only can it be taxing and stressful on them, but it also takes away a lot of racing in the year.

Last year’s 3 yo filly is outstanding. A lot of people think Elate has lost a step but I think midnight bisou is just that good.

No only has 10 points

Almost none and definitely not at the top level
