Untill he sustained his injury, he had moved to one of the top contenders in the derby. Wondering if he is preping for a return, Is he at GP or on the farm. If he is sound , could he be a major player in the Hcp division this year?

This is the 5th thread you started about him in 2010.

All kidding aside, he worked on 11/10 and hasn't since and that was his lone work in the last 60 days, so he's obviously not in training and not healthy. If he does get healthy I'd be concentrated on him clearing a N1X before I considered him a stakes horse.

No offense taken, I was kidding with you. If you to go to equibase and type in a horse's name in the Horse Search box it will give you info on their races and workouts. It hasn't been available for a long time but it's a great tool.

Thanks and I agree that he should start by running in his conditions.

Apparently Baffert (got this from the Paulick Report) said he has shin problems and will probably be back in 60 days. Honestly? I don't think we'll ever see him on the track again - he's going to miss most of his 4 year old season and only has 1 start under his belt. They continue to stop and start on him............it's just not a good sign. I hope he makes it back because he had talent, but I'm not holding my breath.

Take Control is coming back in an optional claimer on 10/7 at Santa Anita at 1 mile. It's race 6, $48,000. He's drawn post 7. Martin Garcia up. While I have it open, DRF stable mail thingy fun fact: he worked five furlongs on 9/27 in :59.60.

You have an odd concept of what constitutes fun facts.

Hoorayforhollywood got sucked into a ridiculous pace duel (45.2). No idea about TC, but I'm sure it will be a long time before Bejarano sees that mount again
