Suddenly the Derby looks like it is being filled with rabbits.
Going Wild, (who I have said should not go on) is a maybe. Spanish Chestnut will go, you wait and see. Frankel will add blinkers to High Limit.
Zito who once employed rabbits to aid Strike the Gold is now possibly about to become the victim of rabbits
The Chemistry with Bandini obviously says start Chestnut. Its a no brainer. Chestnuts form would be the only logical limiting considering. I would want to place a 7 pt. jump Bandini behind the speed duel. Pletcher is sharp, but you never know.
Chuckels, the modern age of handicapping????
Please, tell me more........
>Pletcher is sharp, but you never know.
It will not be Pletchers call, Tabor will make it for him. No correction Tabor has made it for him.
Chestnut will go.
Nothing to it spa buddy. The supertrainers are cheating. Theres a big hoopla regarding the cheaters not being able to juice under the new rules in Kentucky. I don\'t think the new juice oversight has hindered the supertrainers in the least. I think they are way past carbonates.
This year, I do think theres some potential for a 1968 result. Though I don\'t think its large, but even if Kentucky is sincere if there is a disqualification on substances its gonna be post race and post payout to the bettors. Thats what I\'m saying. We are in a three to four year straight up speed trend.
I have no proof and thats gonna catch heat here, but i think Servis is doing it too. One of the side effects of EPO (bloodpacking) is blood clots. Anyone pay attention to that neck issue? I think Smarty was juiced in hindsight and Nicky prolly caught him with with juice in the Belmont.

Smarty got nailed by Jerry B, who killed my tris and supers by running Eddington tooooo death. I don\'t think Jerry B rode the next day.....The \"68\" juice was an aspirin !!!!
I,for one, am old school.
Next week you\'ll see a lot of lists of Derby winners. Tell anyone who cares to know, Forward Pass DID NOT win the 68 Derby. It was awarded to him.
Dancer\'s Image won the race fair & square on the track and nothing can change that.
I bet Dancers Image & I got paid (he was 7-2 or 9-2). If you bet Forward Pass you lost. Some say it was a political decision as Peter Fuller was a Boston liberal and 68 was the height of the sixties nonsense.
It also means that Bobby Ussery won two Derbies in a row. He rode Proud Clarion in 67.
