Old Fashioned

Hi people,

not sure if anybody's home track is Delaware and if you go to the races often. This 2 year old Old Fashioned won a 2 turn mile by like 18 lenghts and now I am staring to read that he is heading to the Remsen next weekend.

anybody know anything about him? Insight apreciated.

thx

I heard Larry Jones talking about him on Equine Forum Saturday morning. You can listen to the archived interview on www.horseracingradio.net. He did say the Remsen is most likely and then the colt will join the stable in New Orleans. Very nice colt - purchased for $800k. Rick Porter owns. It would be nice to see Jones and Porter win the Derby with this one after what they endured with Eight Belles. BTW, Old Fashioned opened at 150-1 in the Vegas Derby futures and took some quick money.

Thanks so much for the link.

I've heard he's going in the Remsen on Saturday the 29th.

BTW, the place and show runners from Old Fashioned's debut both came back to win their next starts. Sunday Blitz easily won the race before Old Fashioned's Delaware romp and Doc's Friend, another from Jones' barn, scored last week (at Philly, I think).

He had a wide run but I wouldn't necessarily say he won easily, taking the length of the stretch to pass the speed (that didn't change leads). Of note in this race is the horse that BOLTS late turn, dumping Bravo and cutting across from the rail. Now, THAT was acceleration.

Doesnt really have a 10f pedigree being out of a Meadowlake mare.

Not really, but Meadowlake had some runners that could go long (Meadow Star obviously, also Greenwood Lake)... Barbaro had Carson City on the bottom.

I know the Delaware races can be totally phony but this one excites me.
