He's plucky, professional and owns a turn of foot. To do what he did in the Risen Star showed gumption. In what is quickly becoming a group that is going to be tough to seperate, those qualities are 'endearing"...

The wiseguy's wiseguy horse.. Will get one shot at the brass ring. Going to get Matz tomorrow and see where Chelokee stands... Looks like IL Derby will be the place.

The balloting asks 'who has the best chance to win the Derby' and for starters, Birdbird is ASSURED a spot in it if McPeek wants, and that puts him ahead of many. McPeek loves the horse, says he belongs and I believe him.

Cobalt Blue was seen by Nick Zito as the single most outstanding individual in the SAR yearling sale two years ago and is heartbroken not to have him in his shed.

Adore the Gold is an overachieving sort who is just plain dead game and was actually best in the Fountain of Youth.
