I would add Pants on Fire to the mix, I still consider him a pretender, BUT, gotta respect the big win and seems to be improving, outside looking in but cannot discount yet&lt;/p&gt;

Machen, wilkinson and Elite Alex are all off my list. &amp;nbsp;Astrology seemed to have a weird egg-beater type locomotion with his left rear leg. (Am I the only one who saw this?) &amp;nbsp;He needed at least an allowance before he tackled a Derby. &amp;nbsp;I love the crescent moon marking, and hope for better next out. &amp;nbsp;By rights, he should be my hunch play, since I&amp;#39;ve done charts...maybe when a horse comes along named Tarot...I&amp;#39;ll feel better about my hunch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most impressive 3 year olds this weekend were Great Hot and Arienza, both fillies with speed, stamina, breeding, and heart. &amp;nbsp;They just moved way ahead of many colts in my picture.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Coldfacts,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You have stated that &amp;quot; SA is about 1 ½ to 2 seconds faster than most tracks with the exception of Gulfstream&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I did some research on that and here are the applicable facts&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While the times of race under a mile are close, that changes drastically after the 1 mile distance. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1 1/8 GP 147.4 &amp;nbsp; SA 1:45.6&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1 1/4 GP 202.6 &amp;nbsp; SA 1:59.2&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Looks to me that there is a full 2 second difference. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;you can&amp;#39;t compare 1 &amp;nbsp;mile times as GP has a one turn mile, but as you can see, there is a big difference in times at the longer distances. Just thought you should know if you&amp;#39;re going to be comparing them at the distances that matter. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have to take issue with your comment about Super Saver being a Fluke. You may not be aware that after his two unusually poor showings in the Preakness and Haskell, he was diagnosed with bruising and inflammation in a all four of his cannon bones. Retirement followed for obvious reason. There is no question that he was a contender and a winner. Many of us saw this, hence is odds, and I believe he would have succeeded, rain or not. He may not have won the next two legs if he was healthy but he most certainly would have run much better than he did. One thing is certain, he wasn&amp;#39;t the same horse after that Derby race, but his lead up 3rd Place at Tampa, 2nd in the Ark Derby, and 1st in the KD do not lend themselves to the description of &amp;nbsp;a fluke. Not even close.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“He&amp;#39;s proven to be faster than any horse thus far and only time will tell at this point. Why then does anyone care what Coldfacts and others say?”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your comment and question above merits a response. You are clearly either in a state of denial of on unable or unable analyze speed figures and performance. Uncle Mo has not proven to be faster than The Factor even if you adjust the SA time by 2 seconds. His time on the slower Oakland track was faster than Uncle Mo’s BCJ time. At ever distance The Factor has been faster. Those are cold facts not fiction. &amp;nbsp;The Factor has a track record and Uncle Mo does not. Even in your state of denial I am sure you can appreciate the significance on that. In my tale of the tape I concluded that the two colts were close with a slight edge going to The Factor. I considered that to be a very measured conclusion. You are encouraged to adopt that policy when posting your comments. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The objective of all posters on this Blog is to share their views. They are fully aware that there will be agreement and disagreements and they do not expect anybody to be influenced in anyway. I have not discredited Mighty Mo or his achievements. What I have been repeated critical of is the lowering of the bar of greatness to match his achievements which have been equaled or superseded in the past.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; Well, I for one am was in a state of mild shock, but then again after investigating their breeding, after the fact, not that much of a surprise seeing how either horse would have little trouble with the distance raced or in getting longer. &amp;nbsp;In any event, we get to add two great trainers to the Derby field who have now most likely qualified for Kty. Derby gate slots in both Kelly J. Breen and in one of my all time home town favorites from Laurel, Md. working out of Pa.--maybe better known for his work with fillie “Better Talk Now” nationally,--H. Graham Motion. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; As to other weekend news thus far, f. “Daisy Devine” stamped herself as a legitimate Kty. Oaks contender winning the Gr. II 1 1/16 &amp;nbsp;Fair Ground Oaks in 1:44.25 . &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; And, as I look out my window at the snow, all eyes will now turn on sunny Sunland. There for sure, another will be surely crowned once having earned another Derby gate slot with a win there, where I think back and remember a horse named “Endorsement”, leaving off mention of--the up and coming movie star--“Mind that Bird”. Wow, I like the breeding on “Fusa Code” and “Ruler on Ice”, but I can’t help think back to that of the amazing run by “Beer Meister” back from some 15 lengths off the lead to come flying down the stretch like “Pluck” in the Juvenile Turf. Looking for another exciting race and another gate to be given away. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; So again, what will the low Derby cut off gate figure be with the size of these purses getting bigger and bigger??? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With Riveting Reason now off the Derby Trail with a hoof injury, with Sweet Ducky being sold and racing over in the UAE, with the uncertainty regarding how Sway Away will perform in his next race after the unfortunate circumstances at the Rebel Stakes, and with J P&amp;#39;s Gusto&amp;#39;s subpar performance in the Rebel Stakes, I have made changes to my Top 5.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1. &amp;nbsp;Santiva- &amp;nbsp;Next Start will be the Blue Grass Stakes. &amp;nbsp;It is an interesting race schedule. &amp;nbsp;The Connections have decided to give Santiva rest now with the 8 Weeks between his 2nd Place Finish in the Risen Star and the Blue Grass Stakes. &amp;nbsp;I personally don&amp;#39;t have a problem with the 3 Weeks between the Blue Grass Stakes and the Kentucky Derby. &amp;nbsp;To me that 3 Week time frame is better than the time frame after the Florida Derby and Wood Memorial before the Kentucky Derby. &amp;nbsp;They may not have him cranked real tight for the Blue Grass Stakes (his Trainer stated after the Risen Star that they didn&amp;#39;t have him cranked real tight for the Risen Star). &amp;nbsp;If they don&amp;#39;t crank him real tight for the Blue Grass Stakes, then they are basically wanting to keep Santiva fresh and then unleash him for a full bore effort at Churchill on the first Saturday in May. &amp;nbsp;The Blue Grass Stakes set Street Sense and Paddy O&amp;#39;Prado up for big efforts on Derby Day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2. &amp;nbsp;Premier Pegasus- &amp;nbsp;Had a very good performance in the San Felipe. &amp;nbsp;Made an explosive move on the turn, showing that he has a very good turn of foot. &amp;nbsp;There are still questions regarding the level of competition he beat in the San Felipe, but his performance was nonetheless very good. &amp;nbsp;His Pedigree has Kentucky Derby and other Triple Crown Race Series success all over it (by Fusaichi Pegasus out of a Mare by Summer Squall).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;3. &amp;nbsp;Watch Me Go- &amp;nbsp;Made a nice move in the Tampa Bay Derby. &amp;nbsp;Showed that he can rate, and he showed that he is good in the stretch. &amp;nbsp;He is out of a Deputy Minister Mare. &amp;nbsp;There have been other Triple Crown Series race Winners that have come out of a Mare sired by Deputy Minister (Curlin, Jazil, and Rags to Riches).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;4. &amp;nbsp;Arch Traveler- &amp;nbsp;Has finished on the board in all of his 4 Starts (2 Wins, 1 Place, and 1 Show). &amp;nbsp;Has a lot of talent. &amp;nbsp;He doesn&amp;#39;t have a lot of wasted motion when he runs. &amp;nbsp;Scheduled next to run in the Florida Derby. &amp;nbsp;Will be forgotten leading up to the Florida Derby with all of the hoopla surrounding Soldat and Dialed In. &amp;nbsp;If Arch Traveler gets a good Post Position, and if he runs his normal race, then he should have no trouble exhibiting why Soldat and Dialed In are way overhyped.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;5. &amp;nbsp;Silver Medallion- &amp;nbsp;Won the El Camino Real Derby (1 1/8 Mile). &amp;nbsp;Had a wide trip during the entire race, and still won. &amp;nbsp;He defeated Comma to the Top (who has $471,000 in Graded Earnings). &amp;nbsp;Silver Medallion showed that he can rate, and he showed that he can close very well. &amp;nbsp;Next scheduled Start is the Santa Anita Derby. &amp;nbsp;He doesn&amp;#39;t have to win the Santa Anita Derby. &amp;nbsp;A solid effort and a 2nd Place should still be okay. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I really don&amp;#39;t put too much stock into beyer but was merely using his numbers as an example to show that there are other factors involved other than raw times to judge the performance of a race. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="http://cs.bloodhorse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=168955" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Derby Dozen - March 21, 2011 - Presented by Pauls Mill</title><link>http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/kentucky-derby-dozen/archive/2011/03/21/derby-dozen-march-21-2011-presented-by-pauls-mill.aspx#168891</link><pubDate>Sat, 26 Mar 2011 04:11:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b1464f20-99eb-45e5-b651-41da03ecff36:168891</guid><dc:creator>Forbidden Apple</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Alex&amp;#39;sBigFan,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The recent breakdowns at S.A. are troubling to say the least. Maybe it has to much clay and not enough water. I miss the old dirt before the Polytrack mandate came sweeping through California.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was at the betting window and did not see Sway Away smash the gate. You would think that the jockey or the starter noticed blood or a flying tooth. He ended up with a lousy trip also. It seems safe to say that he was bothered and deserves another chance to prove himself. I would be happy to see him in the AR Derby.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dialed In&amp;#39;s 47 2/5 workout should serve notice that he means business. Nick Zito called him a gift from god. His late explosions have been uncorked in every start. Even in the allowance race defeat he was gobbling up ground after a turtle like pace in front of him. They know what Dialed In is made of and he will shine bright on April 3. I am 99.99% sure that team Mo wants nothing to do with Zito&amp;#39;s beast! Take another look back at Premier Pegasus (S.F.), it looks better every time I watch it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jon,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Factor has run three blazing races in a row. Why is he all of the sudden going to slow down? Rubber balls bounce, horses have good days and bad days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The injury to Boys@Tosconova has nothing to do with Uncle Mo. Your thinking that Mo injures horses is twisted. In the Timely Writer Mo went out slow, then went slower, and then crawled through his 6f split. At best he ran fast for 2 furlongs. Does a fast 1/4 mile really deserve yet another absurd comparison to anything that Secretariat accomplished?&lt;/p&gt;

And Roman Ruler was a champion, photo on my office wall of his Haskell win in 2005 that I took. &amp;nbsp;Pre Peg could be that dangerous one, as Steve has him at #2. &amp;nbsp;But in 2005 Roman Ruler wasn&amp;#39;t the best of the 3yr. old crop, Alex was. &amp;nbsp;Very confused on Premier Pegasus, I need to see more of him. &lt;/p&gt;

He knows he has a legitimate shot at the Triple Crown, and not just the Derby...he wants a fresh horse that can potentially be fresh when the Belmont comes around if need be...there is no need to run around the country and have 5 prep races and so forth...he has the earnings, he&amp;#39;s proven to be faster than any horse thus far and only time will tell at this point. Why then does anyone care what Coldfacts and others say?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yes, Data Link is a nice turf horse. He tried two dirt sprints early on in his career, but he ran into some good horses. He was in the MSW race at Saratoga that included To Honor &amp;amp; Serve, Anthony&amp;#39;s Cross, and Astrology. He is a possible starter for the Bluegrass. I think he deserves another chance on dirt. He seems to want a longer race and he is more mature now than he was over the summer. I don&amp;#39;t know that one turf victory makes him a turf horse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have written to you before about Soldat. Yes his last two races on dirt were slow, but he gets the job done. What has always been more important to me is the way he showed an ability to rate well on grass. Please go back and watch the replays of his grass races. He is also more mature now and I believe the best is yet to come. In the B.C. Juvenile he was scraping the rail and Pluck was in the middle of the racetrack. He never layed eyes on Pluck until after the wire. When he finally noticed Pluck, he finished fast and galloped out past him after the wire. When the KY Derby rolls around, I think Soldat will be very happy to watch the speed battle it out in front of him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know that I&amp;#39;m looking ahead, but Dialed In remains #1 on my list for a reason. His late kick has been very impressive in every start, including the loss. Nick Zito knows what he has in this animal and I think he will surprise everyone in the FL Derby.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I have Premier Pegasus ranked a very strong #3 at this time.&lt;/p&gt;
