Who\'s in town?  Happy to host a short cruise on Lake Hamilton Friday AM to discuss the races!  Cover, I see in blood horse article you ar here.  Welcome!

ajkreider: And he gets top billing at DRF.

DRF with Covello

covelj70: Guys. I am with my 3 kids and so I am afraid they would capsize any boat but I would absolutely love to meet up with you at the track.

Cell is 917 647 8910. Text or call me please. Would love to meet you.

vp612: I don\'t know you, but I am rooting for you to get in.

covelj70: That\'s really nice of you. Thank you so much.

hotspringskid: We didn\'t get to see Zenyatta vs. Rachel in Hot Springs, but seeing Falling Sky win the Arkansas Derby would be the next best thing. Good luck and hope to see you get your picture took Saturday!

phil23: Indeed. Would like to also wish you the best of luck on Saturday Jim. Hope you get the cash and a derby ticket. Really enjoy your derby week cd track thoughts.

PonyBologna: Would it be too selfish to think that if Jim makes it to the Derby with Falling Sky I\'ll lose one of my major pieces of handicapping research? I mean if Mr. Covello is riding the whirlwind that is Derby week, how can he tell me everything I need to know about how each horse looks in the mornings!?

In all seriousness, good luck to Falling Sky on Saturday! I\'d love to be able to watch the Derby and say \"I know that guy...well, virtually.\"

Tavasco: Jim your posts on this board  have convinced me you are credit to the sport and this community. It is with respect I pass on advice given me by sages decades ago.

When in doubt..... don\'t!

With the rest of your well wisher - I say best of luck.

Lost Cause: Good luck Jim !!!


Hoping for nice stalk trip and roll right into the Derby gate.

covelj70: Guys,

Thanks so much for the incredibly kind comments.

I really appreciate the great vibes.

If Sat goes anywhere as well as the rest of this trip, we are in good shape.

My kids had this week off from their school break so we flew to Memphis on Wesdnesday and spent the night on Beale Street with them which was amazing and yesterday we drove to Little Rock and had an awesome day here

It\'s my first time in Arkansas and I think it\'s a wonderful place. Food is awesome, people are friendly and the museums are terrific.

Thanks again so much to everyone.

Jim

gohorse: Jim,

The Rags board is posting about your horse.They like him, think he has an explosive pattern.I hope they are right. Good Luck!

covelj70: Hmm, I have never been over there but I might have to if they keep saying good things

Thanks

TreadHead: Wow Jim, small world but I just noticed on Falling Sky\'s sheet that he is a brother to Marcy\'s Woods.  My in-laws have a one-horse barn on their land in central Ohio and they just adopted Marcy\'s Woods from a retirement program less than a month ago.  Good luck tomorrow (my mother-in-law will be rooting for him for sure)!

 Smaller, even, than that.
