Could a Sprinter Win Champion 3YO?

So, Drosselmeyer out, D funnybone loses, and we have no clear standout 3yo male. Looks like Lucky and Super Saver are tops of the crop, for now. I hope with Blind Lucks running style, we see her in the Travers. Thought's Jason?

Matthew W,

I think you meant Lost In The Fog, the undefeated sprinter that lost the Breeder's Cup sprint, thusly yielding the HOTY title to Saint Liam. That LITF was a beast but he was suffering from a malignant tumer when he ran in the Breeder's Cup Sprint, that eventually cut his life short. Housebuster was also a very good sprinter that could stretch out in his time.

If D'Funnybone had won and with Mr. Haskin's blog on Awesome Gem, I would have thought the fix was in.

Comedero moves to the head of the 3yo class, males. He has to win the BC Sprint which depends on whether Hollywood Hit runs in the mile.

Same owner, strong entry but HH can win either race.

I agree with LAZMANNICK, Blind Luck might be the "it" three-year-old right now...

Opps! They're loading in the Gold Cup right now! Gotta go, :)

After watching Blind Luck refuse to lose and in the slop (another one of those west coast dandies), maybe she's the best 3 year-old. I wonder if they would ever consider the Travers?

I guess we can say that the 3 y-o division is wide open again, not that it hasn't been despite D'Funnybone. He had no escuse today.

When is the handicapped legend telling the truth?

(A) When he writes that he bet $100 on Super Saver to win the Kentucky Derby?

(B) When he says he believes Super Saver will not win another race this year?

RIP I agree it always comes down to the filly and the mare. Cant wait for some late summer racing. Afleet express is a monster and can wait for him to clean house. The horse to keep an eye on is drosselmessyer.

What does Zenyatta and the G2 soon to be allowance running filly have to with this blog??

Geez.

As of now, I would say D'Funnybone leads the division. There was no clear standout during the Triple Crown, nor the preps. LAL, with a little more luck, could've been heading the division, but what is done is done.

If D'Funnybone were to complete without another loss, I don't see why he would not at leat be considered for champion male 3yr old. He would have a total of seven graded stakes, four graded two, three of them grade one, and one of the grade ones a BCS win.

If a star emerges in the classic part of the three year old division, and ends up sweeping the Haskell, Travers, and JCGC, similar to what SB did last year, I can see why D'Funnybone would be pushed out of the picture. However, I doubt we will see another SB breakout.

The only horse that could unseat D'Funnybone right now is LAL. This is if nobody else steps up of course. LAL already has his grade one win this year, and in a Classic, and his Rebel Stakes came against the creme of this crop. A win in even two of the stakes I listed above would push him even if not a little above D'Funnybone.

Our Draynay is referring to his favorite movie Rainman starring Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. Draynay had a bit part and played the stange looking dude back at the aslym saying I love Zenyatta because she's so awesome, over and over again until he finally got on everyone's nerves and they had to lock him up in a rubber room.

re: Could a Sprinter Win Champion 3YO?

Kit J — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 02:14:12 GMT

sodapopkid, that's from the movie Rain Man 1988.

I think I read that someone said once that Draynay was living in the Eighties.

How does it feel to be so uncool and old Draynay? Welcome to the world of the aged and unhip. where a hip replacement is as close to anything related to hip as any of us would be.

Dray : QR was stuck in the gate and was holding up the plane, Zenyatta was running around in circles against the rest of the bobbleheads playing catch me. BTW, congrats on your new job being the baggage handler / escort for Zenyatta. I knew you were a closet Zenyatta lover. I'll send an email to the Mosses to make sure they give you a bonus. Just remember, she only drinks Guinness. Keep her away from QR when nearing any gate, he so much throws a kick towards her, she'll run over him, don't want the boy to get hurt.

sodapopkid,

Obviously you've never seen "Rain Man".

Draynay's and Footlick's comments had me rolling on the floor. LOL!

re: Could a Sprinter Win Champion 3YO?

sodapopkid — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:38:11 GMT

Dray, the bobbleheads said they didnt want to play with Rachel A. anymore, They say she wimps out when the older girls want to run and play, She is intimadated by them....All they have to do is get up beside her and look her in the eye, She then wimps out.

So now, the older girl bobbleheads make RA play with the weaker group of girls that play in the claimer games. Not the big girl games anymore.

She was off on the tarmac walking in circles repeating over and over again I'm a excellent driver, excellent driver. 10 minutes to Wapner uh oh

Re: Is this suppose to make sense?

Please leave the 'JacksonExcuseJuice' alone Dray, Man, you are suffering from some strange stuff.

Footlick — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 23:51:40 GMT

Dray must be confusing Zenyatta's bobblehead with Quality Road's

jayjay — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 20:27:37 GMT

My apologies Ted, please don't sue me. The horse that comes in 2nd to Lookin' AL (that's for you Ted) I believe is Drosselmeyer, his win in the Belmont seems to a signal to him finally blossoming. With how the 3 yr olds developed last year, I will follow that trend where the winner of the Belmont developed nicely and dominated the rest of the 3 yr olds. The only thing about Dross is the injury, hope it's gone forever.

At this point, it's Lookin' AL then Dross then Supersaver for me. Let's see how the Dandy, Haskell and Travers pan out, it's pretty exciting just thinking about it.

re: Could a Sprinter Win Champion 3YO?

Draynay — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 18:45:43 GMT

Yep ! That's right Super Saver will win the Haskell and Mine That Bird will whip Goldikova in the turf mile.

Jason, back to real problems. Can you help me? I bought tickets for me and all the Bobble Head Horses to fly to Saratoga to visit the beautiful track. Everyone was excited and couldn't wait to go but Zenyatta wouldn't get on the plane. She was off on the tarmac walking in circles repeating over and over again I'm a excellent driver, excellent driver. 10 minutes to Wapner uh oh.

My lawyer recommends that you all stop referring to Lookin at Lucky as LAL, as I have the copyright on the "LA" portion of the LAL. Please cease and desist. It makes it harder for me to skim these posts. Adopt a greyhound. The only bad thing about owning one is they make you look fat.
