Title: Combatant- 2018 version of Lookin at Lee
Post by: Sandreadis on May 01, 2018, 08:54:46 AM
Asmussen said Combatant is similar to Lookin At Lee, who finished second in last year’s Derby from the No. 1 post.
“He does have an extremely similar personality of Lookin At Lee, and I thought Lookin At Lee did a great job to make the most of his 1 post last year,” Asmussen said. “What we’re trying to recreate is the run that Lee put in last year with a very similar horse. …
“I don’t think he’s necessarily had a good trip. Through the series at Oaklawn and the way the track was playing and how he was drawn, I think things could have been a lot different for him. I think the best is definitely ahead of him, whether it’s this Saturday in the Derby or a date following that.”

Combatant will need to run a new top as did LAL
He was fast at 2 and as SA noted, has had some excuses at OP
Has a nice win over the CD strip and familiar with the surroundings
Do not like the way he has changed leads in races and his CD work
Fairmont odds 43-1.

I was going to react to the idea of Combatant running second. Then I reflected on how civilized the contributors are here,

I\'ll just say that in the last 24 hrs, I read Chad Brown predict best race ever for Good Magic, Bill Mott compliment Hofburg, Mick Ruiz - Bolt just needs Espinosa, Bafftert say that Justify\'s previous wins were a result of raw talent and he just wants to stay out of the horses way.

A point in the process where even Trainers get some fever.

I have misused $19 on more foolish ideas.

Bon Chance.

We don\'t get no respect.

Michelle Wolf was nowhere near as outrageous (or funny) as Don Imus skewering
Bill and Hillary in 1996.

DRF has Saturday card entries but no wagering menu. Assuming there will be both
P4 and P5 ending with Derby?

Old friends Yoshida and Beach Patrol in the race before the big event...

Trust me, Wolfe won\'t need anyone doing a benefit for her.

And we cut it off right there.
