I'm not going to pick one, as I wouldn't want any horse to be injured, which is what happens to the ones I pick.

You know I love you... but if you jinxed that colt, I'm kicking your butt.


Be gentle with jagger, Sam. Deep breaths, count to 10, then consider the butt kicking.

uh huh... now I have to wonder if $83k is going to be enough to get in the gate this year. There's a couple horses on the graded list right now that I can't remember having heard of and have to wonder how seriously they are being considered. Sedgefield... I think he ran third in the Tropical Park Derby, yes?

Sedgefield ran second to Hard Spun in that last race that Hard Spun won. *draws blank on name of race*.

I don't think Delightful Kiss will get in with 85K. Dominican just got in today with a jump up the graded earnings list, and the highly fancied Chelokee has about $100,000 in earnings. Teuflesberg with today's Bluegrass fourth may just have overtaken Chelokee, and edged into the top twenty. Teuflesberg's connections have Derby fever and if he has the earnings they'll almost certainly go for it. The only one on the as-yet-to-be-updated Bloodhorse list that is falling off is Notional. Sadly I think Delightful Kiss may be out of luck.

It's looking more and more like The Green Monkey and Olympic Chief will need the Lexington to qualify. Should be a good race!

Hi Heidilady,

I never repost but my PC hung and I had to reboot so I guess this happened. My apologies.

Agree, Marc, but does The Green Monkey have any experience on the new surface?

The Green Monkey is very experienced in butt-muscle-pulling.

Yes, when you think about it, the Green Monkey is a very intelligent horse!
