That\'s quite a play.  

Not tentative this year! Everyone gunning. I was hoping Zandon would get second and that horse coming was one of mine...but NO!

Synth to dirt, another angle. Yay.

Have a great night all.  Wait till next year!

Was Rich Strike even in the seminar, I literally did not even see him in the post parade, forgot he even drew in when I saw him doing a Mine That Bird!

All in all, down 50 bucks, after pumping 500 through the tote for two days. Shout out to TG, best figures in the biz! Would not touch that horse with your money and would probably leave him off an all ticket just to keep the cost down.
Joe Sharp & Calumet must feel great loosing the horse for $30 k.
As a self described speed/numbers guy, will never catch these type, I would not have bet this horse in an 1 other than, let alone the derby. Only pressing the all button gets you these types, IMO.

8 point new top?

Congrats to the connections, now on to Pimlico!

We’re not sure how Rich Strike even made it onto the Also Eligible list, but he’s way too slow to compete with these.

As for Pimlico, Rich Strike\'s Connections have stars in their eyes today but feet don\'t seem to be on the ground. A Triple Crown Winner? The only one possible unless???

I Can\'t help wondering what choice words Bullet Bob has for his pilots who finished in a small group with races Japanese pacesetter. For that matter, the words he has for C. Lemaire ha ha ha!

Has a Derby winner ever had a 3-year-old top worse than this one?

MTB and Giacomo had 5s.

Good Luck,

for the DERBY  80-1 is like 200-1

  Prob the only reason it was even that price is 90% of the crowd can\'t count that high

  Has no one nicknamed this the Blackjack Derby  yet ?

Looks like maybe a horse for the course angle?
Raced once at the downs and won by 16L.
If they ran the race again I still would not of had it..
Only 364 days.
