I would not knock you for picking a horse that is under the radar. That is a good thing to do. I am the first guy to predict that a horse who has never even won a stakes race, will be the next great horse. I called EC the best 3 year old grass horse in the country before he had ever run in a stakes race. We tried to buy EC, TH Approval, and Roses in May before any of them had ever won a stakes race. It's good to pick horses before anyone else knows about them. But in this case, PD is totally the opposite. This is a horse who has always been totally overrated that everyone has always been touting. He goes off at low odds all the time and usually disappoints. He's just a very overrated horse. |

Stable Notes By Gene Williams Sunday, August 27, 2006 BROTHER DEREK REMAINS ON TARGET FOR EL CAJON STAKES Brother Derek added an exclamation point to his training regimen this morning with a sterling 5-furlong drill in 58.80 breezing as he finished preparation for his return to racing after a three-month hiatus following his fourth-place finish in the Preakness Stakes. He has pointed for Saturday’s $100,000-added El Cajon Stakes at a mile on the main track for the past couple of weeks. “It was a very nice work,” trainer Dan Hendricks said. “He did it easy. Another horse broke in on him and it worked out very nice.” Hendricks said the “other horse” episode wasn’t planned but he said it worked out fine. “It’s a little crowded out there during training, and sometimes a horse will break in on you,” he said. “It was fine for us.” The clockers gave these time splits on the work: first eighth in 12 seconds, 35.20 for 3 furlongs, 47 flat for the half-mile en route to the final time. “I got the last eighth in 11 and 3/5,” Hendricks said, adding, “It went just like we wanted; a nice tightener. You know, better horses work faster and that’s what he did.” As for running in the El Cajon, Hendricks said, “I have to confirm it 100 percent with Mr. [Cecil] Pea**** that it’s the best thing to do and make sure Saturday’s race fills.” Brother Derek, who dead-heated for fourth in the Kentucky Derby with eventual Belmont Stakes winner Jazil, is also nominated to the Grade II, $400,000 Del Mar Derby on Sunday. Of that race, Hendricks said, “The Del Mar Derby is a great race and we wish we had time to run in both.” |

Richi....enjoyed the debate earlier. Goes to show others how 2 people can disagree in a civil manner. FYI...I agree that PD has been a bit of a bust, so far at least, but that still does not preclude me from being a fan on his and enjoying him. I happen to enjoy following alot of PG's babies. I remember being at the OTB when Go Between won the Palm Beach at Gulf this year. Told everyone in sight that he would win, but few listened. |
