Ask The Experts

Re: Turf Sprints being bad for the game, I am going to guess that since many of these get full-ish fields, trainers must like them. And my guess is the handle on these is pretty good since they are fuller fields and the races seem wide open. However, I will quote probably my favorite line from the seminar (this was not from the BC Turf Sprint race) that I hope will always stick with me - \"There are those that describe wide open races as good betting races - We are not among them\"

What a weekend for Godolphin, sweeping the classics at Churchill and Newmarket;

2000 Guineas Stakes (Group 1) - RULING COURT  (Appleby/Buick)
1000 Guineas Stakes (Fillies\' Group 1) - DESERT FLOWER (Appleby/Buick)

Kentucky Derby - Sovereignty  (Mott/Alvarado)
Kentucky Oaks - Good Cheer (Cox/Saez)

and just for fun - Think Big in the Turf Sprint, Cinderella\'s Dream - Dahlia at Newmarket, and two others at Newmarket in listed stakes.

They may have won others that I missed......impressive.

interview with Junior Alvarado and his explanation on the FOY yesterday.

I believe Rombauer looks like Commanding Curve, but a little slower than CC coming into this race?

Yes, congrats to Barry Irwin. NBC had him on camera with a quote of something like .... \" the reason I switched to G. Motion is he\'s the only trainer who has not lied to me.\"  Anyone have any further comments on this? (not that a trainer would lie)

Will JV split anything with Robby A?

they asked Donna \"how the horses looked going into the gate.\"  Her two comments were that Dublin (I believe) was a little wet and that Super Saver had lost weight since the Derby.

Steve Christ had these posted on his \"Pick Six Derby Day Blog\" at DRF. Since this won\'t paste the way I want.  The first number is ML, the second is odds 25 MTP of the Oaks.
