I am waiting on the sheets tonight, but I must say that my heart is with Mucho Macho Man. That was a class act from his owners in what they did for Eibar. I have been watching Coa for many years at Monmouth. Wish all owners were like that rather that some of the other examples we see. Taking care of your jockey and promoting racing. What a concept. Wish the people with the TV signals would figure out that they better get together for the good of racing.

calvin gets the rail with TTA, is he good enough? my fav\'s coming in,AAA, soldat, BS, POF,MMM, with one exception were not helped today, neither was AK, my sixth choice.  looking forward to the seminar, any thoughts? Can AAA survive the rail? Is soldat too far out? I\'m hoping for rain and just may box these and throw calvin in somewhere as a savor to hit the board. Worried about the SHAC with the draw, probbly need to put him somewhere too.   I\'ll toss the rest.  was planning on keying AAA/soldat, have a lot to digest in48 hours. may they all come home safely.

How anyone can be making predictions 96 hours in advance of a race at CD, following the dreadful rail on BC day is ludicrous. Weather will also be a factor.

The wise guy horse drew the rail. Ouch

Buck:

You have to love the Derby. AAA was an irrelevant 3yo just a month ago. A crazy pace and golden trip gets him in the winners circle (barely BTW) and now he\'s a top Derby contender.

Words to the wise (guys).....if you weren\'t at the wedding ($52), then don\'t bother going to the wake.


Good Luck,
Joe B.

Same idea with 68-1 Shackleford.

Pants on Fire my key.

Gonna mess around with Animal Kingdom on a smaller ticket just in case he runs a race on dirt like he\'s been training over it.Think both those horses have a chance to run new tops on six weeks rest.

Halo Fire

Eye opening post. Sincerely.

Did not see that trip as golden at all.

Good luck.
