Too bad Quincy had him at 1.08 and change for six, although he did say that he could not wrap him up and had to let him go.


kip deville ran 6th in the big turf race at colonial yesterday w/bejerano on him.


After criticizing Quincy for his ride on KD at Colonial, I had to eat my words after watching the Vir. Derby. I don't think King Kong could have held that horse back :shock:

A mile is Kip DeVille's best distance, I would like to see him back at that distance if the new connections can find something that works for him there in the future.

I agree with you Elvis.... also based on that last race, maybe he is better if they just "let him rip?" He was held to much slower fractions, which seems logical, but obvious did not produce as good a race. I still think that he is a very good horse.
