Boy,didnt see that coming .Couple a 48000 races lifetime Handled these and the distance no problem.I dont know Mike. Never hurts having Castellano How bout that Sonneteer.What a payout

mikeyp1 · Answer

No kidding, Vet.My only thought on Sonneteer was what I made in my notes, and that was he need to hold his speed upfront and that CALI shippers often improve coming to Arkansas.Still, didn&#x27;t see it coming

McCraken is still the buzz horse. The Tampa Bay and Florida derbies will be revealing. I can't see a west coast horse winning in Kentucky.
Malagacy win was fine and three year olds do improve rapidly. Time will tell.

Three things I learned from The Rebel.1. Don&#x27;t buy the hype on American Anthem, another overrated TVG up Baffert&#x27;s butt pimping the horses every move because they act like everything BB touches is Arrogate-esque special.2. Todd Pletcher and his horses are white-hot; and if JC is aboard for Derby, I will have a hard time overlooking Malagacy.3. NEVER FADE THE RAGIN&#x27; CAGIN&#x27; ON A 99/1 SHOT TO FINISH IN THE MONEY AGAIN!!!

He&#x27;s probably this year&#x27;s Verrazano. Breeding is suspect for 10 panels, and he has to deal with the curse of Apollo. Looks like a weak crop, but if he wins it will be without my backing.

IMO that race as far as the whole picture goes is garbage. It pretty much tells us that the Fair Ground preps to date weren't that good and same for the Oaklawn preps. Strange year so far, but i love that!

Do you guys really think JJ comes off Gunnevera on Derby Day? I know Pletcher is his bread and butter but what a tough decision. Gunnevera has been the one consistent horse so far this year and the Derby has eluded JJ so far. I'd be shocked if he jumps off Gunnevera

Malagacy would probably fair better in the Pat Day mile then the Derby, they finished that race painfully slow. Hopefully the 9F races will start painting a clearer picture, but who knows.

Hey Barber ,To long my friend.Melagacy could win the Derby.,I didnt think he&#x27;d get the distance in the Rebel. Nice horseBut I agree .Think he&#x27;d be better racing a shorter distance then 1 1/4
