Default Bodemeister better version of Congaree.
Watching his derby was like watching a replay of Congaree's derby.

Imo Bodemeister is a better version of Congaree.

Better? No, similar is fair at this point.

Better is over the edge right now, but historical perspective is tough to have in this day and age. That being said, Bodemeister is a REALLY good horse.

I'm not so sure... Congaree didn't like it over a mile and an eight. I think Bode can still improve, and if he can slow down fractions just a little I think he can run a mile and a quarter pretty easy. Time will tell.

With all due respect to Congaree, I thought Bodemeister's Derby was more impressive.

I strongly disagree with you and think you should watch the replay of the 2001 Derby again.

They need to be a little patient with Bodemeister. Skip the last two legs and get ready for the summer/fall 3 race campaign.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he will run in the Haskell if he is still in training at the time.

They have to. It's such an easy spot for that horse. The only thing they have to worry about is the draw but I doubt you get more than 9 in the field.

I have to imagine Bodemeister will come out of that race fried. Call me crazy, but the horse I'm looking to bet back in the Preakness Is Union Rags.

Union Rags is the LeBron of derby horses. He's had enough excuses and burned enough money.
