No.. Speculative. Should really make both 'Dominguez/Garcia' till there's a decision.

If I was calling their shots Dominguez rides RR as I think one of his abilities is getting a horse to settle, which is what RR is going to need to do if he has a prayer in the race. I would chose someone like Victor E. over Dominguez but if deciding between those two, that's who I use.

I like Ramon better from mid-pack or further off the pace.

I agree and think Desert Party would be good for him, but am assuming they give that one to for Garcia out of appreciation for previous services rendered, so to speak, to the bin Al Maktoum family...

I remember in 2001 having a few hundred dollars on the "over" in a prop bet that was 17.5 for the number of horses to start in that years Derby.

Even though that year was loaded with so many scary good looking horses about seven or so weeks out - I thought it was a total cinch enough bums would be sacraficed up to make it a full field of 20 .. and I basically thought I had a steal.

The race ended up only going with 17 .... D. Wayne Lukas had two allowance horses that year that were both nominated to the Kentucky Derby and had a pulse. He didn't enter either one.

That was just about the most maddening prop bet I've ever lost.

I find it very interesting that little is being said about Friesan Fire so far.

If the race was limited to 14, does anyone really think the winner this year would have missed the race?

Oh, I don't know. I bet you the #17 horse, Colonel Tiago's full brother, will garner some support.
