easily the worst group this race has seen in years... rick v horse has a big shot

[SniperSB23]

Tagg is still considering sending either Elysium Fields or Big Truck in the Arkansas Derby.

[Kasept]

You know who is a fascinating horse in here... Indian Sun. Has been hanging around all winter/spring and Hendricks is trying everything he knows to get him figured out. Quirky horse... Hendricks says he's lazy and arrogant, tough to ride and to motivate. Seems to have a breakthrough race in him and is bred nicely for a route of ground (Alleged mare)...

[blackthroatedwind]

I'm lazy and arrogant too....and judging by the prospective field there doesn't seem to be any reason I shouldn't enter that race as well.

Out of curiousity Steve, is there any trainerspeak that you don't buy? It's a rhetorical question.

Just early this mornin' IC let me know you were back...
Ser-Lang, the lunacy of Scuds couldn't put an end to you?...
I worked out this morning and I typed out this post...
I just can't remember, which jew to send it to...

Ohhh, I've seen tards and I've seen trolls
I've seen crappy posts that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when PG'85 couldn't pick his rear-end
But I never thought I'd see you here posting again

Won't you look upon the EsoCent forum, oy vey!
You've got to help IrishofND make a stand. Should he be proud?
In his link he says a cop is "strapped up like the navy"
His colon's aching and his time is at hand
You didn't really think he'd take it any other way?

Ohhh, I've seen tards and I've seen trolls
I've seen crappy posts that I thought would never end

But I never thought I'd see you here posting again

Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the screen
Lord knows, these pre-Derby lulls, the lunacy sure to come will turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk to Zito about things to come
Sweet dreams my bitter queen, but you won't stay for my crown?

Ohhh, I've seen tards and I've seen trolls

You beat me to the punch on this post. I have a feeling this guy is 'sneaky' good and may be able to get a piece of this field. He needs some pace to run at and this could be a good spot. Maybe the switch to dirt will be the key. I plan on having a King's Silver Son/Indian Sun exacta box as part of my wagers on the Ark Derby.

I also think that King's Silver Son has a tremendous upside on turf, especially distance races. Would be curious to know what Lauren Stich would say.

If that's the case alot hasn't been explored.

You are not kidding! There easily could be a Sir Cherokee in this crew. Maybe it's my sentimental fave "Golden Yank"

Sir Cherokee would have crushed Valhol (Patin buzzer or no buzzer).

if tagg sends my old derby horse Elysium Fields here, is he the favorite off of his fountain of youth try ? or do you look at the florida derby ?

[King Glorious]

I would hope that this field of goats would put an end to all of those people clamoring for the Arkansas Derby to be a grade one.

of course you look at the fla derby. doesn't mean you give much weight to it of course.

but cool coal man has not been flattered much by the company he kept in the FOY. that race is anything but key at this point.
