Zito to run Boogie Boggs
 

He has to be reaching here to get a Derby runner. The horse is going to take on Stormello, Notional and Scat Daddy in his 4th career start. The horse has one win and a 4th and a 2nd (both in allowance races). I actually like this horse. I had him last summer in his debut and bet him in his last two races. But to send out a maiden winner in the Florida Derby is insane.

I did too! :)

that makes 3 of us because i had him also, i think he could make the triple, the race looks to be setting up for a closer...

Hey, horses with just a maiden win have won the KY Derby, the FLA Derby has got to be that much easier.

When I saw him in his comeback I immediately thought Belmont for the horse. I figure he would run in the Peter Pan and then the Belmont. I hope the horse does well in the FD.

I don't know...Dixie Union's make good 2 year olds and decent horses at 8 - 8.5 furlongs.

I dont know about Boogie Boggs but has anyone heard what is up with CP West? He just worked but I havent seen anything about where or when they plan on bringing him back. I just love that colt.

Not sure but did you notice the pedigree? Same sire as Dee Tee Stables' Sumwonlovesyou!

Grasping at straws......................

Lightly raced
 

Boogie Boggs has some talent. Lightly raced. It worked for Cobalt Blue and Curlin last week, he has shown some talent. I agree it is setting up for a stretch runner. If he runs to finish 3rd he may get the earnings he needs to go to Churchill.

Just a 3rd place here won't get into the Derby.

Agreed. Have loved this horse since last year but have not heard a thing about him. Thought he would run alot better in BC JUvenile but reportedly was injured

I read recently that CP West is working again, but they aren't rushing him back.
Another horse pointed towards a late summer campaign, I assume.

Zito had so much attention with 5 horses two years ago, that it must be frustrating not to have at least one headed to Louisville. I can't blame him for trying with horses like Boggie Boggs and Most Distinguished, but they don't seem to be Derby calibur.

Thanks for the info. Feel he is by far his best 3YO and look forward to seeing him point for Travers, after all we know he likes the track

Nick couldn't win when he had 5 going in, he ain't gonna see no Derby with this one.

Yeah I wanted him to do better also but he had a rough trip and since he hadnt run but a couple races I wasnt to disappointed. But dang, I want to see him back on the track.

Here's where I saw the note on CP West.
From Steve haskin's derby trail article last week on bloodhorse.com

Zito’s big 3-year-old is Belmont Futurity (gr. II) runner-up C P West, who is up to a half-mile in his works. Injured slightly in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, the son of Came Home is too far behind to make the Derby, but, based on his huge effort in the Futurity behind the more seasoned King of the Roxy, this definitely is a colt to watch later on
