Default DOWNS DAWN PATROL (4/21): Lookin at Lucky sparkles..
Quick hit to start off the morning as LOOKIN AT LUCKY turns in 'one of those' Derby works. Absolutely inhaled workmate Broken Tango on the turn en route to these sharp splits: :12.1, :24.0, :35.3, :47.4, :59.3, 1:12.0, 1:24.4 and the mile in 1:39.2. Baffert will be a chatty Cathy the rest of the morning...

ESKENDEREYA made his first appearance on the track and it will likely be reported that he looked 'stiff' barely jogging once around the oval...

Will report on uninspiring HOMEBOY KRIS work later...

SIDNEY'S CANDY was out and looks happy and energetic bouncing and skipping while out for a light jog...

More later...

Not surprised by Esken's condition.

Every since your clever prognostication from November 9, 2006, I always pay careful attention to your opinions on Derby contenders....

One number jumped out. A Negative 2 by Street Sense in the juvenile even while being checked on the turn in the race.

I will go on record as saying this horse will not run a negative number in his entire 3 yr old year and very likely not again in his career. I am no fan of numbers like that this early. Mind you also that front wraps were added for this start as well. The ultimate squeeze the lemon scenario and I think he is finished. He is a bet against from here on out.

Nothing like going back 4 years for effect....I did choose Hard Spun in said Derby. I also said I was obviously dead wrong about Street Sense at the time as well. Some horses you get right, some you get wrong. When you finish in the Top 50 in the national tourney like I have you let me know Andy.

He hardly needs me to defend him, but seriously? You think your handicapping accomplishments > his? What channel can I catch you on again?

Its not about accomplishments at all in fact its about money. And you don't make money in this game routinely betting favorites. I took a stand on a horse 4 years ago and was wrong. If Andy had more of a life he wouldn't be digging up 4 year old posts. Says more about him than me but whatev.

All I know is that both GBBob and Pweizer know that I let them finish ahead of me in the NHC that we all played in. They were too nice for me to not let them beat me. All I got was a NTRA goody bag, if I had been in line to get a trophy like Scavs I certainly would have handicapped more the night before the final round instead of calling that girl whose name DrugS gave me.

I am all about trying to beat Esky, but he just got there yesterday from his long ship from FL, and it is a new track for him. Lets calm down until later in the week.

Stiff can be taken care of pretty easily, other things like a quarter crack, not so much. He'll be fine race day.

(and don't come at me about my love for this horse because I am not using him in the top slot at all, period)

It's okay, he's been perpetuating the idea that Eskendereya is injured since he crossed the wire in the Wood.

I don't mean to sound like an azzhole when I say this but I usually take all of these workout reports with a grain of salt.

I dont know if it was rider error in the last race but he looked fast on the poly but was having trouble in traffic and last time I checked there was ALOT more traffic in the Derby than a 10 horse race.

That is my biggest fear is he gets stuck behind a horse or 2 that start dropping and starts checking up as other stalkers and ICE BOX go flying by

Hey Steve, how'd Conveyance look? He had an ultra fast work as well.
