Talented colt. Concerned with the quick comeback in the Lexington, off the effort in the Sunland race, to try to get in the Derby. Then no works for 21 days. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts

The game kicked Servis where it hurts the most. Long overdue for the crap he has pulled over the years. It was the right call. The next call should be a 30 day "earned vacation" for the rodeo rider. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Not unexpected considering it was only his second start of the year. Heard similar regarding Good Magic last year. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
I handicap the Derby as if it was a two turn race at a mile. Why complicate it when none of us know who is getting the mile and a quarter anyway. So of course I think he's got a huge shot to be in the mix at the end. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Am I seeing things when I see a colt who will not get off of his left lead two races in a row? Good Luck, Joe B .by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
MJ: Agree with your Tacitus assessment. As for BMS, I think the La Derby was as good a race as any of the preps. What is interesting is that Spinoff may end up three times the price as both WOW and BMS. Improbable looks to be having similar issues as GW-on the wrong lead late in last two. Collected didn't get a mile and a quarter until he was older, but agree that Improbable the betterby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
The fun really starting up this morning as Tacitus, Country House, and Win Win Win all hooked up in their workouts making for an interesting finish. I'm no workout expert but it appeared that WWW got the better of them. Code of Honor a "blazing" :46 4/5. ATM machines going to be busy today. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Nice post Frank to kick off Derby week. Having the winner just the icing on the cake to a fun week. This is our time...enjoy everyone. Interesting point about wide moves at Oaklawn. Something I have noticed for years (similar to Parx). Not sure what the data indicates there but I do know that post 10 is 6 for 110 at the Fair Grounds. 🤔 Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts

Give them extra credit if they can win pressing the pace at 7f or a mile. Even more impressive if it's a stakes race. No Haikals please. That's a pick up the pieces win. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts

It's incredulous that anyone would compare Roadster's Santa Anita Derby to Silver Charm's. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Pinhead got off with a slap on the wrist IMO. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Carruthers said right before the race that the exotics were more reflective of a 15-1 shot. The exacta payoff came back generous for a 22-1 over the second choice. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
TG the best with 3yo patterns at this time of year. That's 2 weeks in a row. Toddy and BMS. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
See the Holy Bull as another example. Tip of the cap to any TG board members who battle the Gulfstream dirt races. GoodLuck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Followed Albarado's decision and used the other Romans horse. Not sure if he finished yet. Good luck figuring out that place. I'm done with it. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
They took the sprint off. I think the two 1 1/2 turf races offer the best value today,especially the female race. Good. Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing. Watching the '96 Derby again wasn't easy but it reminds me to ask the question to this board. Is Chris McCarron the greatest Classic distance rider of all time? Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Anyone who nailed the number can thank Jose Lezcano-perhaps an early Christmas card would be appropriate. Danceland has choke marks on her neck this morning. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts

You're right. Won the Gravesend in the late December fog at Aqueduct off of the Pete Ferriola claim. 😜 Then how the degenerates at the Big A loved him as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer- you just ran a negative 3. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Neither one of those guys could ever get a horse to win at 1 1/4 or beyond on the grass. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
You must have had a ton of money on Accelerate after considering all of those reasons. Couldn't disagree more regarding HOY, but odds are you'll end up being right when Justify wins it. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts

Seminar is once again worth every penny. The difference between these two is that one already had success at the distance. Classic is wide open IMO and I'm trying to make a case for him, but I just can't see him running a number that beats this field at a 1 1/4. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
