Sloppy Track for KYDerby?
 

Although this is about exact as picking a cold super, if it's accurate, we could be in for some mudders on May 2nd. Check out:

With very few preps run on wet, sloppy or muddy tracks, this will be a skull buster. I can just hear the excuses about "my horse just couldn't get hold of that track"...blah...blah...blah.
To my best recollection, some contenders with demonstrated off-track form include:
DESERT PARTY 1ST 07-24-08 SANFORD S MUDDY
FRIESAN FIRE 1ST 03-14-09 LOUISIANA DERBY SLOPPY
WIN WILLY 1ST 03-14-09 REBEL S GOOD

How much stock do you put in sire ratings and other breeding data? So who is your sloppy Derby horse? :confused:

Like clockwork, we get our first 12 days out how will weather impact the field question of Derby 2009. Well played.

Someone had to do it!:rolleyes:

this one looks a little better

I'm bored and had time on my hands for this discussion and you had to spoil it with some optimism!:D

Sloppy track yields following headline: FRIESAN FIRE BURNS FOES!

He was running for fun in Louisiana Derby. My favorite Fair Grounds - Churchill Downs fact is: Longest main track stretch in North America = FG (1,346 feet); second longest = CD (1,234.5 feet).

Look to the Prospectors

""he's a mudder, His Mother is a Mudder, His father is a mudder, and he's got the bug boy"" !

Right now extended forecast is calling for a 60% chance on Derby Day.
