^^BoRAIL got a good response from Warrior's Reward. Love how quiet Borel is when he wants to get headway, and is still standing up "under wraps".

Those of you who downloaded the bris PPs a few days ago may want to to download today's copy.
Dunkirk's maiden race was upgraded in the RR(109 to 111) and CR(111 to 115) ratings [sarcastic oooooooooh].

Extra Extra - hot off the press Alma D'oro's Feb 15th 5f work.

[SundayStar]

nice win by dunkirk after going very wide on the first turn

Based on Price... Dunkirk has to perform... 1st out had a little problem with the trip ... but exploded.... don't usually like first out against winners ... but.....

They're Late chased Danger to Society and AP Cardinal first off layoff and made progress... sleeper

Stately Character poor showing in Holy Bull but will see if can show better against these

Alma D'Oro should improve off last

American Dance needs one...

Alma D'Oro folded like a cheap tent.

8+ wide the first turn, 3-4 wide the 2nd turn... that was impressive by Dunkirk.

If Pool #2 of the Future Wager was this weekend and Dunkirk was included, how hideously overbet would he be?

So let me get this straight, Dunkirk has to win the Florida Derby to have the necessary earnings to even start in the KY Derby ( which would be his fourth career start ).

Good luck Dunkirk fans.


Then again, should he fail to win the Florida Derby, perish the thought, after carefully, and slowly, bringing him along, they could rush him back in three weeks in the Lexington....giving him two weeks until the Derby.


Once again.....good luck Dunkirk fans.

I think 2nd in the Florida Derby might get him in.

And if the Lexington comes up too quick after the Fl Derby, there's always the Derby Trial, which is graded this year.

Todd would never do this. After all, he's got 19 other Triple Crown nominees, including Munnings, Bittel Road, Idol Maker and Take the Points.

This is my least favorite part of this time of year. I totally understand your point, but when a promising young colt with an outstanding pedigree overcomes a wide trip to win impressively going 9f, must almost ALL of the talk immediately turn to whether he has a chance or not in Louisville? I realize it is the biggest day in racing, but must everything be about that?
I thought it was an impressive performance by the colt and if he stays healthy (obviously a big question mark given the sire) I think any Dunkirk fans out there DO have reason to be optimistic about his 3yo campaign as a whole.
