Some other guys think Came Home ran a better Derby than Medaglia d\'Oro. I thought Md\'O had a worse trip and was running twice as fast at the end......... JB, what am I missing here ???
-
On the RAGS site that had came home running a better number than D\'oro.
-
Medaglia D\'Oro 3W - 3W : 2 and a half
Came Home 5W - 4W : 2 and a quarter !
Encouraging to see that Came Home moved forward as I thought he would. Takes some of the sting out of getting beat.
They should run him in the Preakness. If they do, I its a cold box between War Emblem and Came Home.

Mark, I will have to give you credit here for your selection of came home. If you would have told me ahead of time that he would run a 2+ at 1 1/4 I would have thought you were nuts. He obviously has tremendous heart, but I am concerned about them running him in these longer races. His heart may try to get him to do things his body can\'t sustain and I think it will lead to injuries. Keep this horse at 8 or 8.5 furlongs.

Sounds like they\'re going to the Swaps at 9f.
In his favor is that he\'s only 3 as opposed to 5 so he can develope.

even more than ready ran great in the derby (4th) yet was a sprinter - in class races sometimes you ran out of your skin because of company (I can\'t explain this - but I\'ve seen it). I would bet against came home at 9f in top class company, no doubt in my mind. he will be 4th or 5th in the breeders cup sprint.

Don\'t be surprised if Paco doesn\'t turf him
before the summer\'s out. Might be the next
War Chant!

I just hoope the horse makes it to the BC sprint.
Mcccarron rode the horse quite hard for four furlongs in the SA Derby, and made him run for a solid six furlongs in the Derby. How much more can this horse take?? Paco knows how to train them, but I say give this courageous horse with a huge heart a damn break!!!
Lucas now talking about both Table Limit and Shah Jehan for the Preakness? It\'s amazing how a wire to wire win in a triple crown race can get people fired up. Everybody except Baffert and the Thoro Corp thinks they got screwed. I have two words for Victor Espinoza in the Preakness.......GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
