yea it was clear (at least should have been) once you saw the entries this morning, and you could see that Desert Party was also in the race, that there were at least two horses they would let run even if it was a training race.
Never been a fan of Vineyard Haven's.

Missed the race, had to deal with cardiologists and surgeons all day, hopefully they put this race on kentuckyderby.com/video. Doesn't Justin Dew have a gig with them? Does Desert Party have any hope of a classic distance? At least they have all of Vineyard Haven's races up and have a good excuse to add this one - Hey JUSTIN ...

looks like frankel knew what he was doing in selling...

Who would have turned down the $12 million?

not me!!!!

All I do is write. I try to stay out of the behind-the-scenes stuff. No idea when the replay for this race will be posted.

They offered $17MM for Nobiz. It was turned down.

Here's the replay.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTdWWF3_O_w

Ever seen a horse climbing before? That was what Vineyard Haven was doing all down the backstretch, lifting his knees up so high that he looked like a trotter breaking stride. Usually indicates the horse can't get traction on the surface. It's very tiring for the horse, so not surprisingly he flattens out late.

I thought it looked more like he was cross-firing.

Your new favorite term :)

KRIM gets ALL the credit.
