I hope they send this horse to Oaklawn next and run on the dirt(Per the post race interview yesterday, it is either Oaklawn or the SA Derby). If he does well he could end up your Derby favorite.

Now, this is a horse to get excited about... closer to the pace going two turns and when asked.....took off like a rocket, again! Would take his running style over WP anyday running in the Kentucky Derby. Great story here!

Plus he's a gelding, so he won't be rushed off to the breeding shed. But he still has alot to prove.

Yes, very interesting horse, and trained great up to the San Felipe:

03/08/2008-HOLLYWOOD PARK-Five Furlongs-All Weather Track Fast-1.00:40 Breezing
03/01/2008-HOLLYWOOD PARK-Seven Furlongs-All Weather Track Fast-1.23:60 Handily
02/23/2008-HOLLYWOOD PARK-Five Furlongs-All Weather Track Fast-59:40 Handily

Just hoping he won't peak too soon. I'd like to see him take a step back for the next few weeks and then a prep that's not too demanding. I'd be happy if he comes into the Derby off a good effort somewhere, not necessarily a winning effort, and isn't the Derby favorite.

There is another thread about Georgie Boy and Gayego called Input on the main forum too...

Georgie Boy has his work cut out for him if he stays west for the SA Derby. He might be the best horse out in Cali, but he still has to go up against the Colonel, El Gato Malo, and an improving Gayego if he stays out there. I give the nod to the Colonel right now.

they'll all have their work cut out for them once they change surfaces.
