There's actually a 1st-time starter in there. Amazing how dumb some people are.

What?!

[miraja2]

Yes it is true. The colt is named Olympic Chief and is trained by Janet Davidson. He is by Chief Seattle and out of a Meadowlake mare.
As for running him in the Arkansas Derby in his debut.......well, insanity is what it is.

Beyer disciples must be pulling their hair out...

If the hoss actually wins, could it possibly qualify for the Kentucky Derby ?

If he finishes 2nd or better, he will definitely have the earnings.
3rd would be close, depending on defections.

Can you imagine if he somehow got up for third and they went ahead and ran him in the Derby?

That would be nuts... LOL

(It wouldn't surprise me, though.)

Hey, crazier things have happened. It won't, he'll finish dead last by 30 lengths... but a TC winner was a maiden when he ran in the Derby

It's almost unbelievable.

Great. We'll get to hear Terry Wallace say "short stretch of the mile" 11 times...can't wait.

Sometimes he even forgets where the mile finish line is. He's so worried about the horses behind making a big late move that he forgets where the finish line is. He's a Oaklawn fixture.

And you can't wait to see Wallace in a tux, right?

Probably the more reasonable thing to say would be that all the 6F races are on Friday. About 10 of them.

Wallace in a tux, in Arkansas, saying "short stretch of the mile" is just absolutely pimp....and he'll probably have a couple of those homely chicks in jockey silks that help with the post position draw with him on Saturday... Terry Wallace, I can tell he's a local legend and I've never been there.

is Olympic Chief a first time starter? wtf


Deadly Dealer's race on paper looks as freaky as in person 22.1 / 44.1 / 108.1 / 127.4

[Cajungator26]

It's interesting to see Delightful Kiss here...

Thoughts on this guy, everyone?

[saucon17]

Olympic Chief First Timer

Yep and he has only one published workout of 3/8 mile in 38.4
The morning line on this horse should be 1000/1. Plus they
put 15k to enter him and run him in the Ark. Derby. Thats
15k spent very unwisely.

Flying First Class to pull a Flashstorm and finish dead last?

With ole D.Wayne you never know. It would not be like the earth ended if the horse won. He has pulled this crud off before.
