This is nuts
With 4 minutes to post in the ARK Derby....Going Ballistic is 42/1...and that 7K yearling maiden 1st time starter is 41/1.
|
That's almost as ridiculous as Fee Fi Fo Fum being 3-1.
|
Or Boca Grande being 5/2
|
It's nuts that anyone has bet on the firster at all. His odds should be 'infinity to 1', that is 0 divided by the pool.

My guess is the absolute best thing this horse has going for it is that it's a firster. If it had three races it might be 250-1. |
Wowzer
For a minute there I thought it was going to be Lukas Strikes Back. :D |

Deadly Dealer crushed FFC at least twice. It might have cost him a placing. Curlin sure looked good. He won like a future book favorite should but geez, he'll be running the Derby in his 4th start.
|
he could just be that much better that the " lack of seasoning " won't matter

It should be an interesting Derby and I look forward to handicapping it in 2 3/4 weeks. |
If anyone was curious but too lazy to look for themselves...
The debuting maiden finished last, beaten 55 lengths. Going Ballistic got beat a nose for 4th, and one length for 2nd. The horses racing 2-3-1 after a 1/4 mile ran 1-2-3. The maiden was racing 4th after a 1/4 mile...... I heard someone mention the same connections have an unraced maiden nominated to the Ky Oaks....poor horsey. |
I don't think Curlin had to work too hard for that one.
|
Might be time for the breeding shed!
