Saturday On the Trail to the Derby
Today is an exciting stakes Saturday filled with a number of races featuring Triple Crown nominees. We look at two clearly designated KD 137 prep races; The Gotham and the John Battaglia.
AQUEDUCT Race 10 {Gotham~G3~1 1/16 mile~inner dirt~3 year old~Stakes}
A superlative field of nine derby aspirants line up for this annual Derby prep race. A perfect blend of speed, pressers, trackers, and closers will make the race one to watch.
#5 Stay Thirsty (Dominguez / Pletcher) appears to have cobbled together the best workout tab giving him the best shot to find the winners circle. Those workouts include two explosive five furlong works that included a bullet. He is one of five that has gone the distance and with a couple of fine last out speed numbers should be in good position to run a good race.
$1 WIN / SHOW.
#4 Toby's Corner (Castro / Motion) has the top last out speed number, a triple digit one. Could pull off the victory, but with that speed number may have already peaked. He has two significant last out speed numbers, a four race progression, and one strong workout.
$1 PLACE / SHOW.
#9 Dawly (C. Velasquez / Asmussen) judging by his workouts and a four race progression this guy is ready to pop a big race. It appears his connections have managed his racing career perfectly. He loves the Big "A" track and will be closing into a favorable pace scenario.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests

Turfway Park Race 9 {John Battaglia~1 1/16 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
A fine group of nine grinders assembles for this race on the synthetic track. The type of track where there are always surprises. We expect this race to be a tactical one with no overpowering speedster in the mix.

Ain't It Good to be Back Online Again
After a nice 45 day layoff we are happy to begin, in earnest, our two year old campaign to build a bigger bankroll. Our horse racing weekend begins tomorrow, Thursday. Today we provide some observations and thoughts along the Kentucky Derby 137 trail.
Dash to the Derby
While there are a number of top caliber horses looking at a Kentucky Derby 137 start by virtue of their graded earnings already accumulated, many of the 365 Triple Crown (TC) nominated horses are working hard and racing their hearts out chasing the dream.
Here are some observations on some of the races this past weekend in which some of the Triple Crown nominated horses competed.
Gulfstream Park Race 6, a one mile on the dirt, maiden special weight, featured a number of TC nominees. San Pablo won in impressive fashion from gate to wire. Point of Entry finished 2nd and Meister Singer finished 3rd. Both looked pretty good. Sequoia Warrior flattened in the stretch and King Alpha finished off the board.
At Fairgrounds Race 5 was an Optional Claimer going one mile 70 yards for three year olds. TC nominee, Lumberyard Jack, was not a factor.
The Turf Paradise Derby (1 1/16 mile on the dirt) was one by a bomber named Beer Meister at 40-1. Love the name, but the connections did not nominate this fella. The TC nominated runners all did well with Twice the Appeal finishing 2nd, Indian Winter finishing 3rd, and Mr. Artistic M.D. finishing 4th. It was an exciting race to watch.
One of the big KD 137 prep races was the Hutcheson Stakes (G2-7 furlongs-dirt) which was won by Flashpoint, trained by Richard Dutrow. The Todd Pletcher trained, Travelin Man, finished 2nd. Little Drama finished 3rd and another Pletcher trained horse, Razmataz finished 4th. A lot of head scratching is going on after the finish of this race.
The most important KD 137 prep of the weekend had to be the Fountain of Youth (1 1/8 mile—grade two—on the dirt). Kiaran McLaughlin trained Soldat won in fine form. Gourmet Dinner who already has his ticket punched for the Derby finished 2nd. There was some disappointment in To Honor and Serve’s third place finish. Bowman’s Causeway [CAN] is one to watch finishing fourth.
The only TC nominated horse in the Borderland Derby (1 1/16 mile—on dirt) at Sunland Park won it smoothly. The Steve Asmussen trained, Fusa Code, should now move on to the Sunland Derby in an effort to achieve his connections derby dream.
As with most horse racing weekends it was fun and exciting. We are that much closer to the Kentucky Derby 137 on Saturday, May 7, 2011.
