3 or 4 of those Holy Bull colts could turn out to be serious runners. after a quick look, I like Winslow Homer. looks a bit like his dad. didn\'t need his best at Pha. gets in light, and gets top jock.

Steve Haskins put something up on his Facebook Blog that there was an Eight Belles coonection with Winslow. Had something to do with a painting.

Aikenite they expected more on BC Day. More effective around just one turn with Yes its True on top?

Lecomte does have any Hard Spuns but it sure would be good to see Paul McGee make a Derby run.

First trip to the track this year.

Psyched!

Mike D nice one. I flopped into this spot on your advice. He looked pretty live throughout most of the race and may be something.

The Sprinter at FG who I also caught (very small) looked really really good. 21 and 1 pressed opening qtr and held easily sway in the long FG stretch. 110 Beyer at 3 with only career defeat by a head to Captain Candy Man means this guy can fly.....

WH is a nice looking colt Silver. He will, of course, have to learn to rate and finish better. A :46.2 opening 1/2 over that surface really isn\'t excuse enough to close in :13.3. It was his first start though, and I\'m sure Dutrow will have him in better shape next out. With Summer Squall, Rahy, and Drone on bottom, a solid nine furlongs should be within reach.

Sheet guy will point to Jackson Bend\'s wide trip, and better figure. Another good looking colt, but I\'ll likely side with Homer again next out.

I missed the FG sprint. I\'ll have to check that one out ......
