Title: BORREGO's # in the Arkansas Derby
Post by: jbelfior on April 12, 2004, 12:47:27 PM
TGJB/TGAB--

Did BORREGO pair-up or advance slightly from his Louisiana Derby??


Good Luck,
Joe B.

I think he went slightly forward, the public will ignore him, and he will be 15-1+ in the Derby!

I hope you are right.  I loved his race this weekend.  He got knocked a bit offstride just as he was about to make his run and still was making up ground late.  In th La. Derby he stumbled slightly at the break and was 10th in the early going.  His move at the top of the stretch was about seven wide.  I am a little concered that he will become a \"wiseguy\" horse leading up to the race.  He was 16-1 in the last advanced wager and I would be surprised to get that on derby day.
