Wow, I can't believe you would not see the race as it was run and the outcome. Stakes earnings doesn't matter anymore. I guess DT would have passed if given the opportunity for a Mil

Did that Sonbol kid have any racing experience prior to becoming Zayat's racing manager/representative?

What does watching the race have to do with inquiring if the kid has a previous background in racing?

Delta has a history of running rich stakes. In the 1980s, the gross purse for the restricted Jean Lafitte Futurity was often over $350,000, with the race usually split into two divisions. Some decent horses would come out of that race and run well in the WHAS Stakes on the Derby undercard.

I went to the Jackpot last year for the first time and had a blast. It was a lot of fun. This year, I'm staying home... but like UH OH BANGO to sit the trip behind some speed.

With 2-year-old races, it's always going to be hit/miss. I'm all about small racetracks making moves and taking risks. I hope they have a successful night!

I have been following litigation risk ever since his debut, which was impressive in the slop. I think he has a chance.
