when the TG seminar comes out...is there anyone who won\'t see the small, continual progress and easy moves forward?  Isn\'t that what TG is built on?  Let\'s be honest, TG is being very cautious with # since the BC...I think this will be Alan/JB\'s horse...

Shanahan,

If TG changes his last fig to negative-3(which Jerry said they may after Sat results), they will probably toss him or have to deviate from their usual thinking.

Shanahan-- Please explain the comment about being cautious with figures since the BC. As opposed to... having four martinis, putting my feet up, and using ink instead of a pencil with an eraser, like I did before the BC?

[Kasept]

As someone who is around the horse, a.m. rider, groom and connections every morning here in Louisville, anyone leaning in this direction is encouraged to NOT DEVIATE from their thinking...

He\'ll work 6f tomorrow before dawn under his regular morning rider. Let me limit my enthusiasm by simply saying he is a fascinating animal...

(In one of those interesting Derby trivia sidebars (omens?), SNS\'s morning man is veteran Ernesto Ferdinand. And what horse should be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their Derby victory this year???)

Steve-- since you are in ground central for Derby rumors-- hear anything about why Barbaro didn\'t work for 3 weeks?

TGJB---


Certainly looks as if races take a lot out of BARBARO. Should this horse win the Derby, he may not only skip the Preakness...he may point to the Travers.



Good luck,
Joe B.

Matz says the horse worked on Sunday, April 16. The numbers he gave were 4f in 51.00. This workout eluded the clockers for some reason.

[jbelfior]

That\'s impossible. Matz gives this horse at least 3 weeks between works.



Good Luck,
Joe B.

Joe, I cannot personally vouch for the workout, as I did not see it.

But Matz said the horse worked the last two Sundays at Keeneland, with a 4f work in :51.00 on April 16. He added that he was pleased with the move. He said he did not know why the clockers missed it.

I know he\'s a fascinating animal. That\'s why I was the first one to bring him up on this VERY board and tout him as a very powerful long striding horse. I haven\'t seen one motor like him in many years. I instantly ran to my computer to post here following the Jan 7th race. I have a lot of respect for this board...

Dominguez broke his maiden that day and I\'m sure he\'s missing not being on him anymore. Kent D will do fine in the big dance and I might be able to cash a very nice future...

I hope he\'s 5-1 next Saturday. Anyone got any predections of what his off odds will be?

[kev]

He\'s been low profile, I\'ll say he\'ll go off at 8-1 to 10-1

[jimbo66]

He is not low profile, his bandwagon is filling up pretty quickly.  He looks good on Tgraph, he looks very good on Rags, and his Beyers are very good.  You have the guy on bloodhorse saying that \"every ticket must include Sweet Northern Saint\".  

Uncle Buck will get his 5-1, but I think 7-1 about tops for this guy.  Too many positives.

[kev]

Your right I was thinking about BARBARO being low profile. Sorry.

[kev]

7-1 ?  wow, what do you think Mike B. will make his ML odds?? I was thinking 15-1 ml

[Bally Ache]

Judging by the number of people on this board who like him (including me), he just might be co-favorite with Brother Derek.
