I sincerely hope...
That Dominican wins the derby by 5+ lengths just to piss everyone off.
I won't be betting him, but I would be laughing from the 1/4 pole in if that happened and wouldn't be pissed off about losing. I wonder what all of the turf writers would say in the Sunday columns then? |

I sincerely hope...
that a horse like CQ doesn't win off an 8 week layoff....and curlin doesn't win off 3 career starts... no need to reinforce these alarming and crappy trends of not running horses

I hope Curlin wins the derby and then tests positive after the race and the national media milks the story for all it's worth.

[quote=Dunbar]That's my feeling, too, though I feel stronger about the 8-week layoff than the 3 career starts. (I may be influenced by my rather large bet on "All others" in KDFW Pool 1 to root for Curlin!)

And it will be awful. --Dunbar[/QUOTE I don't think a Curlin victory would be that bad, especially if it was a close race with a layoff horse finishing second. In that event, I think the "run them as little as possible" trainers might have to rethink the strategy. |

Remember that Dominican was gelded last year. And since his gelding he is on fire. He also was 3rd beind Tiz Wonderful (who would demolish this Derby field) and Any Given Saturday and he finished 4th 1/ 2 length behind Street Sense in the Washington. If I remember correctly that day the track was muddy and Dominican stumbled at the start. He has some legitimacy on dirt. I think he has a reasonable shot on Derby day.

I bet Dominican last weekend simply because of his prowess on poly...though I think he's gotten pretty good, I wouldn't bet a good turf horse in the Derby and I won't bet him either.
