Dutrow
He's pretty good first off the trainer change with CRC horses.
Excellent tooth paste.

Just a little worming. All you need.

Vladmir Cerin, Hollendorfer, and Kristin Mulhall (Imperialism?) have done well in CA with those types. Don't they say that Calder has its own unique surface or something?

Visually, that appeared to be a perfect example of the re-breaking that we used to see constantly from horses trained by the "usual suspects". Dutrow said the horse ran that way at Calder before he got him (stopping on the turn, then starting up again straightening out). After watching the replays, I certainly cannot verify that. He didn't corner well in his maiden victory, but he sure didn't look beaten at the top of the stretch like he did yesterday.

I'm pretty well on the record regarding Dutrow, but I don't get the theme here.. The winner went :23, :23 (:46), :23.3 (1:09.3), :25.2 (1:35.0). That's :46 for the first half mile and :49 for the second half mile. In his 2nd start maidenbreak at Calder under Andrade, he got an 81 Beyer beating subsequent MSW winners Thank U Philippe (84 BSF) and Hear Ye Hear Ye (94 BSF). Saturday Homeboykris got an 89 Beyer, and the entire field behind him is right in line with the figures. What's the outrageous shock exactly?

The horse paid over $13 for a reason ... and it's not like everyone in the world didn't know the horse would improve significantly beforehand. Was it as dramatic as Silver Train, This One's For Phil, D' Funnybone ... no. But it was a move-up ... and it only doesn't seem outrageous because you pretty much knew going in that it would happen. It was just a matter if it would be good enough.

Actual (ML): 1. Homeboy Kris 5.60 (6-1) 2. Discreetly Mine 5.90 (7-2) 3. Aspire 4.20 (3-1) 4. Super Saver 8.80 (4-1) 5. Dublin .70 (8-5) 6. Overlap 54.25 (20-1) In his maidenbreaker, Homeboy Kris went :22.2, :23.2 (:46.0), :13.0 (:59.0), :13.3 (1:12.3) for the 6f. (22.2, 23.2, 26.3 split into quarters.) Pretty identical to how he ran in the Champagne... And being a 2yo off a 90 day layoff, one might conclude that whatever improvement he showed is ordinary development. He had worked 31f since September 2 including a 5f turf drill followed by a full 6f breeze. I'm not saying there may not be typical Dutrow program performance enhancement to come, but to roll eyes and scoff and snicker at what this horse did Saturday like it was some kind of putover is plain silly.
