![]() Truly as exciting a race day as has dawned in quite a while, for me anyway and I hope for you as well... Glorious spring weather appears set for the fabulous action that's slated nationwide including the three paramount Derby Trail preps, and our
Dee Tee Stables has Lloydobler in with a shot on the Wood Memorial-Carter Handicap undercard. Keeneland got off to a huge start Friday with a record crowd pressing 25,000, and Gus Alonso got the meet out of the gate quickly nabbing the $470 (.50) P4. My own play fell short with Blushing Dixie (7th) and Valid Supreme (10th) both running maddening seconds around the favored Krypton (8th) and Nordic Truce (Transylvania). Hope you did well... Santa Anita and Aqueduct both offer $500k P4's today, and Arcadia managed to trip a $99k P6 carryover into the mix as well. ATR and DT offer a simple Derby Prep Contest today where you select one horse in the Wood, IL and SA Derbys and cumulative mutuel total wins. Email your three horses to me at tpkasept@yahoo.com and enjoy the great day!

Steve I'm curious did "Super G" tell you it was Easter for Lloydobler? Looks like a wonderful day weatherwise at the Big A.
