Florida Derby

[Tavasco]

First the Arkansas Derby. Muth\'s race looked pretty darn good to me at first glance. Then I saw the Florida Derby went a second faster almost all the way.

UAE Derby 6 mos of development even south of the equator appears worth 10 lbs.
The Japanese winner may as well stay home this year.

Ushba Tesoro/Senor Buscado Omni pays 8/1. Those two seem to always run their race.
Who the hell was the freak \"Laurel River\" who Crushed that field

I hope you already have a ticket on Fierceness I don\'t see any chance of getting any better odds.

Haven\'t the foggiest idea of what Fierceness will do in the Derby.

Should be a significant new top for him, given what they ran in the Ghostzapper. Fastest horse going into the Derby for a while.

Race of the year could be the Preakness.  Whoever wins in Kentucky might have to face Nysos, Muth, Knightsbridge, and Mindframe as fresh shooters.  Pat Day mile good be a banger too.

110 Beyer for Fierceness…might be highest prep Beyer since Bellamy Road’s 120 in 2005 wood

The long version:

\"FIERCENESS was away perfectly\"
\"FIERCENESS; he\'s on the accelerator, is Johnny V\"
\"Johnny V, still sitting pretty on FIERCENESS, who tries to sneak away ... and FIERCENESS, he is getting away, he\'s now 4 in front\"
\"FIERCENESS is putting on a show in Hallendale today\"
\"FIERCENESS ... the real FIERCENESS ... he\'s crushing them in the Florida Derby\"
\"FIERCENESS geared down, and on his way to Louisville\"
\"FIERCENESS authoritavitly in the Florida Derby\"

The short version:

\"HE NEVER HAD A THREAT!\"

LOL. That was great. I enjoyed that call.

Ultra impressive,  but do not know what to make of the result. Was that field that bad or was Fierceness that good? Unbelievable that he got to the front so easy, but after 2 scratches and starting from the 8 hole, he made even money look like stealing kids Easter candy.

He looked like Kingsbarn in last years LA Derby.

Happy Easter
