Title: TGJB-Summer Bird
Post by: big18741 on April 20, 2009, 04:19:15 PM
Didn\'t make the special-looks like he\'s in.

How wide was he on the second turn or can you just give his # for the race? Either will do.

                           Thanks

Thanks.

Figured he was in that range and we can now add another that is faster than Pioneer of the Nile.

POTN really is Colonel John:

Slower than 75% of the Derby field going in.

Boss 3yo hoss out West.

Gomez rides.

Doing great at Churchill.

Like last year plenty are jumping up first time fast dirt-why wouldn\'t he?

Only difference-Baffert instead of Harty.Is that worth 10 lengths?

This horse (SB) would have won the Arkansas Derby if it were another sixteenth. He spotted everybody 12 lengths or more and ran wide the whole second half of the race.

If he gets in, and then gets through, you could see he make beacoup noise at 1 1/4
in twelve days. I might play in him Vegas though the track odds might be just as good.

I used him in the tri (still lost) but will definitely use him for the Roses if he goses.
