Musket Man part 2
Ive seen gales thread about MM after the TB Derby and not too many were thrilled with this horse seeing how the filly outran him the same day. But man after the Illinois Derby how can the connections not be excited about the chance this horse has in the derby. His beyer wasnt off the board, hey it wasnt even triple figures, but I feel this horses running style fits the derby perfectly. The horse sits nicely mid pack makes three wide menacing moves and goes on with it strong in the lane.
After the race Coa was extremely confident that the horse could get the mile and a quarter and I think he can too. I feel this horse who is 5 for 6 lifetime will get a decent chunk in the derby, any other thoughts?

I say again, the day a Yonaguska colt wins the Derby is the day American breeders should pack their bags and go home.

if you believe in the #'s he is too slow , but the numbers have been wrong before and they can be again
that being said he continues to grow and get bigger and faster derek is simply amazed with each step forward day by day , week by week i will keep you guys posted as the derby draws near as to how the connections feel as i have a pretty good link into the barn

Im giving him extra points for style. If this was a mile and an eight at Belmont in a 6 horse field with POTN, FF, IWR ect ect I wouldnt give him a shot. But this is the Derby, 20 horse field, anything can happen. If he's within 5-10 of the lead down the backside in the derby I feel he has a good shot.

my guess is he will be a nice price come derby day , most lilkely higher than his pool 3 odds when all the so called experts like beyer , grennberg , etc etc basically probably tell you to throw him out

25-1 in the third pool, if I can get higher than that in the Derby I would be extremely happy. Def. gonna wheel him back and forth in the exacta and use him alot in other exotics.

As an aside, The Pamplemousse (Kafwain) is bred on a similar cross as Musket Man . Both mares are Mr Prospector line and the 2 sires are sons of Cherokee Run .
