Not exactly a stellar G3. Where are all the GOOD horses hiding?

not on mine either....She is a toss, she isn't a mile horse. they just want to run on Derby Day, that is all...

If this race were 9f, I would consider betting her, but she aint a 8f horse

What GOOD horses should be in the race that aren't?

I agree, I think the quality is there on both days, just not the quantity that people are accustom to...

So, the best we can do in terms of decent turf fillies, going a mile on Derby day,
is

Sharp Susan (one of my favorites)
and
a sprinter? (is this CALI where it doesn't matter how many turns you're navigating)

Lady Carlock a G3 horse?

I'm not a fan of DoA but

1) she doesn't need the lead going 8F
2) there's nothing in the race


P.S. I'm assuming this is 2 turn race

You won't get an argument from me that the quality isn't great across the board, but considering what we have, I think the two days drew good fields.

I agree that DOA is a good play against.. I think Einstein is too. Look at this PP's.. he's following the same pattern from the past two years.. is sharp in the early part of the year, then fizzles in the Woodford... no reason to think it won't happen again in 2008. He's 3-0-0-0 in turf starts at CD.

I didn't read your comment but I hit the pick 3
could've hit several of them but chose not to bet them
saved the money for my derby plays
as I was going to bet and leave.
