Incident of his was in steward's report 2 weeks ago. Employee of barn was caught with tube of paste in the stall of horse scheduled to race within next 2 hours. No cap on the paste just holding the tube but claimed he was just pulled in to help another employee out. Was going to post link to stewards minutes on here. Went back to look at link and the incident is no longer on the stewards

R4 at CD today, the #2 Calmbeforethestorm has "KRI" listed twice as starts that don't show up in PP's. Anyone know what KRI stands for and what the situation here is?
Thanks

Correct, only one I want is Brody. Big move past 8 horses in a blink of an eye with ears flopping back and forth waiting on command at the wire. Yes please, sign me up.

I feel the same way about Brody, look at his pattern as a 2yo. He moved forward in second start significantly and jumped forward again in third start. Just so happens he will be third off layoff going into the Derby and past history tells us that third off layoff has been a successful move with Derby winner, i.e. Mine That Bird, Animal Kingdom, Super Saver, American Pharoah, Big Brown, Street Sen

Watched the work as well, jock whips him a few times right before the 1/4 pole like he might be lugging out. Tough to say for sure but just looks like a grinder to me. Tough to toss tough to key.

Ok, can someone please help me understand the huge difference in figs. In no way is this knocking the numbers, I just want to better understand how it was made.
I'm using Eagle and Gun Runner from 3/26
Eagle 3w3w, carries 119lbs, final time 150.50
Gun Runner 1w2w, carries 122lbs, final time 151.06
Eagle got the wider trip yet Gun Runner carried more weight, time difference was abou

I think TGJB brought this up on earlier discussions about pace not determining final fig. I do agree with you that it was the better race by far after pressing very strong fractions.

Yes, by all accounts the only colt with a negative number. Brings up an earlier point that now Trojan Nation had a superior move forward? Lots of confusion about this crop.

Hard for me to take Destin seriously, we've seen this before from the barn. See Dream of Julia and Materiality to name a few, that is big figs in FLA that don't seem to happen again anywhere else. Let's not forget this was the same horse who started in NOLA and was beaten by Mo Tom and Tom's Ready. How in the world was Destin able to achieve this fig off just 4 weeks and stayi

Does it have to be the vet? Shockwave is performed by Physical Therapists all the time, this barn happens to currently travel with an equine Physical Therapist so how would we really know?

Thanks, was reading an article that stated shockwave therapy was performed on I'll Have Another 10 days before the Derby. Initial thinking is that if the procedure is performed at all the wagering public should be informed.

Anyone out there know what they are? Curious as Nyquist's trainer has been linked to this before and Nyquist himself was subjected to this treatment back in September of his 2yo year. How would we know if it was peformed?

I'll Have Another received same treatment leading up to KY Derby. Miff is right, does promote healing and as stated before barn is familiar with how to bring one who is getting the treatment up to a race. Obvious issue but wouldn't make that big of a deal about it, handicap as if Nyquist will run his race and go from there.

I know what Maker said but anyone on the backside heard anything on why he didn't come out yesterday? Anybody see how he looked this morning? Don't like him to win but can fill out the trifecta.

After Cassidy sent Ocho Ocho Ocho 6f's from the gate today and then stated he intends to blow him out 3f's Wed at CD, I'm thinking they realize the only way for them to have a chance is to go W2W. I do think with Firing Line being fresh, if he is drawn inside he will have no choice and that could quicken things up even more.

The plan all along was for Carpe Diem to have a 2 race schedule going into the Derby. Owned by Winstar Farm, they used this same 2 prep format in 2010 with Super Saver and won.

Don't leave out Puca. She broke the maiden at a 1-turn route at Belmont and Mott saw enough to go straight to BC Juvy fillies. Big stat here, Mott is 10-27 in Graded Stakes 61-180 days on dirt.

Since it is the ROTW, may impact the pace scenario a bit.

All jockeys will be subjected to magnetic wand scans prior to the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks and other random

Anyone know what the word is? Haven't seen anything yet and have to think this could be the strictest we have seen so far. TGJB?

I was just on Twinspires and you are correct, the 12th race head-on is the only one that has been taken off. At least take them all off in order to not look so suspicious or like they are trying to hide something.

Speaking of your horses, I find that last race almost impossible. I'm thinking you will improve second out but Catman usually better first out than second out. However, the race you come out of is looking like a KEY race to me. Good luck this weekend!!

So let's brainstorm here. How can we bring more attention to the vets and hold them responsible for these decisions to give horses meds they clearly didn't need? After all, they are the doctors for our equine athletes!

Wondering if anyone saw or knows why horse was scratched last Friday? Saw he was re-entered for Saturday at CD after working 5f this morning.

There is a portion of an article on Paulick Report where a search of the vet's car turns up a gallon jug of a type of clenbuterol not approved by the FDA. Now how often can we speculate this happens across the country? Perhaps more security is needed at all tracks!

All of this now makes me want to take a closer look at how WTC was able to get up and beat Oxbow, then be absolutely nowhere in any of the Triple Crown races.
