Title: Santa Anita Derby
Post by: Ace on March 30, 2009, 08:41:22 PM
Entries won\'t be drawn until Wednesday so I haven\'t seen the Sheets yet, but look out for Mr. Hot Stuff in the SA Derby this weekend.  Colonel John\'s full brother is learning the game.  That third behind The Pamplemousse in the Sham impressed me, CNak had him too far back early.  He got $24k in graded earnings for that effort- why isn\'t he on any of the graded earnings lists, which go below that total? Just a second in the SA Derby puts him in the field at Churchill Downs.

The late nominations to the Triple Crown were announced on Tuesday, and Mr. Hot Stuff was one of them. You\'ll see his name on those lists in the near future.

Thanks for the reply.  However, the BRISnet list includes horses that were not nominated.  I am pretty sure this guy earned $24000 in the Sham.

Complain to Ben Huffman, the Churchill Downs Racing Secretary -- the list at BrisNet looks just like the one at the Ky. Derby website...minus the horses with zero earnings.
