i was wondering if coa would stick with musket man. if you like GQ, do you like musket man? or does the breeding put you off completely, altho the horse has handled going longer thus far?

I've a hard time believing a colt by Yonaguska can win the Derby.

Sure. But I won't bet that it does. I don't think he's beaten all that much in his 5 wins.

Despite nice wins in their last prep, I really don't think choosing between General Quarters and Musket Man is any kind of nice spot to be in. Neither has a chance to hit the board, IMO.

I'm afraid to look at Derek Ryan's record in Grade 1 races.

maybe so but this maybe his best horse that he has had and you can't say that about the other trainers per se

This same logic must have cost you a fortune when Bisnath Parboo ran Giant Ryan in the Gotham. Thank God ( for you at least ) that John Candlin hadn't made Kitty Nip Derby eligible as well.

from a sheets # musket man is in over his head no question about it, he would have to make a big jump forward to get onto the board , is it possible sure is it probable probably not , but, i have a link into the barn and someone here asked me to keep them updated - i am suprised by what he said to me about only being afraid of dunkirk , of course

Does Ramon Dominguez have a mount in the derby?

He would have to be on the shortlist for Dunkirk if Gomez goes to POTN
