UH OH BANGO is a horse without any chance in the DERBY , the best place would be last , luckily he would not run to give chance to a real outsider , I don't understand why people waste their time mentioning such a poor candidate . It's a pity that a horse like PLEASANT PRINCE can not run the DERBY because of his earnigs because in the distance he have a lot of chance.

CONVEYANCE is a true derby candidate . He is among the best horses of this generation, and I do not undersatand why people say he is a miler , WELL , HARD SPUN was like him and without a STREET SENSE he would have galloped the derby, For me he has more distance than SYDNEY'S CANDY who is a miler that never have been fought in front. If LOOKIN AT LUCKY would have run the SUNLAND PARK derby would have lose to ENDORSEMENT .

All the downers of Zenyatta ought to be ashamed of themselves after they yep their flaps for her to run on dirt and when she does , she is there and no damn competition to take her on. Embarrassing, as it can be...16-0, who will dare to take her on...

Lazmannick:

Your post on Zenyatta wanting to know when she was supposed to race in the AB is hilarious, True as it can be though.

CAn you even believe she horses that didnt face her, Where in the world was the great competition she should have had to face???

Scared, maybe.

Glad you had a great trip. My e-mail is up, I think. Send me one to test it out. I'm going to be loading in Windows Seven soon. I don't know if doing that will wipe out my existing e-mails. LOL

I just watched the replay of Arkansas Derby. Did Dublin jockey Terry Thompson lose his whip somewhere around the top of the stretch? It looked like he might be hand whipping him.

Let me know when your email is up and running. The trip was fun,thanks.

Yes I read that Uh Oh is out, today.

Like I said, we'll probably see a number of defections and question marks. Been through so many of these nothing surprises me. Even NP making a miraculous recovery.

A sincere question here, Dray. Did you even know Endorsement existed prior to the SP Derby? You're basing on the fact that he beat a horse that can't get the distance and is most likely a miler?

Tim G.,

Uh Oh Bango DEFINITELY won't be running in the Derby. He came out of the Arkansas Derby last week with a fractured left front cannon bone and will be out 4-6 months.

Let me know when your email problem is fixed. As for the trip,it was great as usual. Spent a few days in Santa Barb. and also visited the Tin Man(which I do usually). Got stuck overnite in Dallas on the return back home.

Mike, I like Esky, but I am going to say it looks like the so called long shots are hitting finish lines, but as usual horses are worn out now before they even attempt the three legs of the crown, I am looking to Esky, wouldnt mind LAL. That is if they can stay sound enough to make it to the derby.

Dray bet a California horse that had only been on synthetics with sub 100 Beyers. I've been "listening" to this blog and his rantings about "plastic" long enough to know that POTN was not his top pick. No way! Don't even have to review the blogs.

Endorsement is working very well at Keeneland.

re: And Down the Stretch They Come...

Ted from LA — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 16:02:09 GMT

Endorsement is shaping up to be the wise-guy horse in this Derby. When is the last time the wise-guy horse won the Derby?

So, Statley Victor wins the Bluegrass? I know the Conway's quite well. I am trying to talk my way into the winner's circle with them on Derby day.....

Oh wait, that would mean he would have to win.

Let's see, broke maiden on turf, has not run a lick on dirt, and then wins on polytrack? Anyone see the problem here???

Rachel is running derby weekend. 99% sure.

Esky towers over the field.

Relva, see you on the blog in July Buddy!

Pletcher could take the trifecta by himself.

ESKY, RULE, SUPERSAVER, M Impazzible,

Weirder things have happened.

IT AINT EASY BEING GOOD

While I was in CA. last week I happen to notice your little list you compiled with my name among others'. I could put you on a list also,problem is don't think they would post it here. lol

Where is Endorsement training now?

How was your trip to Cali? Glad you're back. I hear that Zenyatta woke up this moring wondering when she was going to run in the AB. The last thing she remembers was having a workout last Friday afternnon. LOL

I've got a good recipe for CROW. I recieved an ENDORSEMENT from the handicapping gods for adding a little LAL suace to the mix. LOL
