Default Denis of Cork's stock on the rise

Denis of Cork bypassed this weekend's G2 Rebel at Oaklawn and figures to make his next start in the Wood Memorial at AQU.

Sierra Sunset - 2nd to Denis of Cork in the G3 Southwest took the G2 Rebel this weekend.

Liberty Bull - Dead Heated for 3rd in the G3 Southwest won impressively in the $600K Win Star Derby at Sunland.

Not to mention the dull performance by the 2yr old champ.

Only 2 starts prior to the Derby as a 3yo. History says no! Questionable foundation.

I'm glad I got down on Denis in the first future pool at 46-1. . . If he runs well in the Wood he should be one of the faves. . .

you mean his stock is going down correct... he skipped a prep, and now only one more prep left that cannot be good...

stock down dennis of cork

stock up... top 3 finishers of the fountain of youth

He did have a dream setup in the Southwest and that race was only at a mile. Still, I wouldn't mind having him at 46 to 1 right now.

he skipped a prep due to the fact that the horse is somewhat light, probably hard to keep weight on him. so now they're looking at running four races in the next few months, rather than five.
his stock is up as horses he has faced/beaten continue to do well. unlike all those horses who ran in the delta jackpot for instance.

your too funny... anyway the foy is going to end up a super key race, i have been looking over the pp's of it, and the way it was run, SUPER KEY RACE

Nice looking horse (with a win at Churchill.)Good mover.To me,physically,he looks like he will get 10f.I think Pyro,Denis of Cork,and Georgie Boy are the top3.A lot of horses not too far away from them.If you got 40 some odd to 1 on him,then I think ya did well.

There is a 3yo 9f winner to watch for from FOY Day... When is Shug going to bring Cosmic back?

I would have a hard time putting Georgie Boy over either of the top two finishers of the FOY at this point.
Also, maybe you've had it for awhile and I just now noticed but man, are you trying to put yourself in the top 3 in the category of most annoying signatures in the history of this board?
No offense intended, but it features all of the three things I find particularly annoying (large font, changing colors, questionable relevance). Do we really need to see that every time you post?

LOOK at the pp's of the top 3.... zitos mineshaft has never done a thing wrong... is 2-2 this year going 1 1/8 both times, and is very tactical....

tagg's horse has been a monster since stretching out, is doing nothing but working bullets, and is another who is tactical, which is very good style come derby time

court vision first off the layoff closed a ton of ground, and should move forward.....

also agree about cosmic he is a very nice horse but no derby for him
shug said he is not on the derby trail

Don't talk to me about it.I couldn't care less what you want or think.Bitch to the people in charge,and they will probably censor it for you.Compared to the 3 I mentioned,the top 2 in the FOY are goats. I would take the Hey B horse over those 2.

I could give you reasons why and show you examples of where I talked up each, BEFORE the races, a novel approach here. One of the reasons, for me at least isn't a shot in the dark that it might become a key race.
your so funny, you like both of the horses, you agree
but you still push and make comments towards me, instead of just being on my side about it, since you just said you like them both.

i could be way off, i am wrong a lot but as of now i wont have pyro or war pass on any bet derby day, i wont have any cali horse .... maybe colonel john, but no one else, and i will have many horse out of the fountain

[quote=DaHoss9698]That's not a big surprise. Wrong again. For those counting at home that's ONE correct call,


you are to much, i just post.... you should do the same

commentator or grasshopper will be horse of the year
curlin will lose in dubai
pyro, war pass, el gato malo... none of them will finish in the top 3 of the derby...

i will stick by all of those predictions, they will all be right.
