Winslow Homer out with stress fracture

[covelj70]

such ashame with these Unbridled Song\'s that they can\'t stay healthy.

Brilliantly fast but too many of them are too fast too soon for their own good.

This is a bummer, someone here called this after he won the Holy Bull. When Lookin at Lucky got \"a little\" sick for a day or so the Derby Trail started looking potentially empty.

Keep\'em healthy PLEEEEASE!!!

runs like his dad, which is good for his speed figures, not good for his health. I wonder if the injury had anything to do with the slow finish last out? they say he looked fine after the race.

he wasn\'t my Derby horse, but Homer would have been a good fit at Pim.

8Belles, Old Fashioned, Dunkirk, now WH ...just about all of the good Unbridled\'s Song 3 yr olds have gone down recently.

Covelj70 was the one and the same that forecast the early exit of Winslow Homer from the Derby trail. He may be too classy to point it out but let\'s give him his props, and I quote:

\"4) Winslow Homer seems destined to (be) the next offspring of Unbridled Song who teases us with his/her brillance early in a 3 year old campaign only to see a far too early end to a racing career due to the unsound genetic traits passed on by his sire. Dunkirk, Old Fashioned, Eight Belles (among others) teased us in the last few years. Hopefully, Winslow breaks this trend but it would be tough to bet on that (say in the Derby futures).\"

If covelj70 handicaps as well as he follows racing trends we\'re all running for second place . . .

hah, thanks BH, too bad I wasn\'t as prescient about the first leg of the pick 6 today at SA!  Hate getting knocked out early....no good!

While South Fla has the depth, Cal might have the best ...

Sat, SA R8:

Tiz Chrome looks strong. Tiznow over Woodman with good speed ... Baffert and Gomez .. and he\'s already run well over dirt and cushion. Still has to answer the pro-ride question of course, and he won\'t offer much value over the new surface, but this guy could be a serious Derby contender. I also like Dave In Dixie. Made a decent run in the Norfolk, but was too far out of it, and I\'m not sure down inside was the place to be. Not crazy about the Dixie Union on top, but he should get some stamina from his dam, and 1 1/16 looks like a good fit. Haven\'t seen the figures yet, and I don\'t see much value in the race, but TC over DiD is my early read.

[covelj70]

I am really anxious to see this race.

The pedgiree on the bottom side of Tiz Chrome is outstading and he was very fast going short.

The fact that he already showed that he likes the Churchill dirt is a big deal for me also.  We take tha Pioneer of the Nile issue out of the equation for me.  

I am anxious to see what kind of figure he ran last race.  I guess we should see the TG\'s tonight.

Market already figured this one out though, he has been far too low for me to take a stab in the futures books since almost the day he moved to Baffert\'s barn.

Wynn has TC at 20-1. Interesting that he has American Lion at 12-1, 3rd choice behind Lucky and Buddy\'s Saint.

would you happen to know if the Wynn is currently booking Kentucky Oaks wagering?
