Hey Richeebee, regarding your so-called "dead link" I think the restored blog includes a technical bug whereas we can't add a link to a post. Nicely Nicely may have an opinion about my hunch.

In fact, I was referring to the three filly stakes Fairmont referred to. My bad though, it is not generally referred to as the filly triple crown. Which is a term instead used for the 1000 Guineas, Epsom Oaks & St. Leger. Who knew?
Meanwhile, only Davona Dale won the Ky. Oaks, Blackeyed Sudan, and Acorn. 1979 fwiw.
For bettors, I suppose the filly in the Preakness makes both races more

I thought D. Wayne Lukas looked like a million dollars @ CD last Saturday. Probably Friday too but I don't remember Friday's appearance. A beautiful sports jacket (I'm thinking leather maybe suede) and a nice wide-brimmed Cowboy Hat. Add a starched long sleeve shirt and an attractive necktie. I swear he looked great.
Today I read he was sending his filly Secret Oath To The Preak

I looked back at a few previous running to find some comparables. The obvious ones are when Mine That Bird won and the one in the rain when another pacesetter went kamikazi.
But first, In some ways the 2016 edition in which Nyquist beat Exaggerator, GunRunner, and Mohayman. Both versions had a rabbit and went fast. Only the best of the best Nyquist and Gunnrunner were able to preserver after a

While it can be fun to choose a bet intuitively and win we know in the long term it is economic folly.
Playing objectively is a grind more or less but more winners and fewer losers lets us continue in the game.
My Derby Handicapping excluded the two Baffert Horses for subjective reasons. I had decided Baffert is a bad guy! Consequently, I'm against him and his horses.

I imagine several distinct groups barring too much traffic or trouble in the first turn.
Group One - Pacesetters 3 Epicenter, 5 Smile Happy, 6 Messier, 7 Crown Pride, with 16. Cyberknife and 17 Classic Causeway closing down from the outside.
Group Two - 2nd Turn Movers, 8 Charge IT, 9 Tiz The Bomb, 10. Zandon, 13 Simplification, 14 Barber Road, 15 Wite Abarrio

I'm not one who knows the answer to that question. I was just reflecting on what I had observed. Now that you mention it of course there is probably none better than Bob Baffert at getting young horses prepared for their first race.

He sure is good with young horses. His generally run like an adult vs children. !st round draft choices for example Sol Del Sur in the 2nd race and Dominican Pioneer in the 5th @ Kee today. Based on the latter race I put the runner-up Spangster trained by Dallas Stewart on my horses to watch list. That was a very professional effort.
With Ward, it seems we need to catch them first out. If they

Ace, that's the best reason I can think of that the connections send him in the Derby. Further, his sire (Gunrunner) suggests he s/b able to compete @ 1+1/4. His trainer is certainly able to condition endurance horse

For years I've downplayed the graduates of the Wood Memorial moving forward. I learned to do that after betting on some of the high-profile points winners. That strategy left me disappointed year after year. Nothing but steam.
This year I'm interested in three (3) of this crops luminarys but not the winner.

I have a crazy notion from hazy memories that the beginning of a meet and the end of a meet produce some big payoffs. Consequently, I will be playing against chalk @ WO & OP most of today. But first a horizontal stab.

While binge-watching "The Fall" on Prime Video also via Peacock I got to wondering in a particularly confusing segment.
What if someone, even Beychock et al, filed suit to prohibit the Sham of Taiba from being trained and consequently subject to rules violations by Bob Baffert from running in the Kentucky Derby.
Point #1 - Power Crazies CDI and Bob Baffert (Trainer) are feuding. T
