Sunland Derby

Thanks for that, Dana.

He might have a nice blend of speed and stamina. He took to nine furlongs after staying close to the pace. I am going to talk myself into a future bet before I am done. Maybe after the Wood I can get a decent price. 20-1 asking too much?

I watched the replay and this guy is the real deal. Big threat for all of it in May! Right now I am calling for an E-E exacta.

Watch this guy run...

I know, I came to the same conclusion. Gotta throw him into the mix.

Endorsement app in the TG 1 range(101 Beyer) ran well.Track was glib, half was soft 48.04 compared to 46.76 posted by routing 3 yr old fillies earlier. Typical Sunland Park glib surface which usually favors up close type runners.

Nice performance overall,albeit with a perfect trip.E has come very far very fast but lacks 2yr old foundation. Tough to know if he can overcome tougher early splits judging from his last two races.Adds intrigue to the derby picture if he is resiliant enough to pair or move forward.

Should not be long before we hear that Shannon Ritter(former asst to Elliot Walden,doing a GREAT job at Win Star) is the next coming of Charlie Whittingham.

Shannon was Vicory Gallop\'s excercise rider, she does a good job everywhere with a small string.

Endorsement is a nice horse, but maybe not as good as he looks right now. Conveyance set a slow pace over a quick surface, and still couldn\'t get home in under :13. Most of the Derby contenders would have run by that guy yesterday.

I\'m sure she does, just like many,many others. Last year, it was Tim Ice who got fired after going bad when Summer Bird wasn\'t in the gate.

Gotta have a new Charlie Whittingham each derby, forget the horses ability.
