![]() Tough decision ahead for Ken McPeek...
Does he prep for the Derby Stakes in the Kentucky Derby or the 2000 Guineas? I would go with the latter. If he doesn't then the horse has no shot at the English Triple Crown... |

![]() Pretty tough not to go to the Kentucky Derby after that effort today.

![]() Who called the Jeff Ruby Steaks on the NBC telecast?
Loved his style. I think his approach is basically: 1) Call the correct horse on the lead and 2) never let on that you have no idea who the other horses are or what position they are in... He even winged it on the name of the race right before the start. Pretty sure he called it the Jeffery Stakes. |

![]() He is going to the Kentucky Derby

![]() Saw that.
Going against the grain since the horse already proved himself over a European-style turf course at Kentucky Downs but has gotten brow beat in his only 2 dirt starts... |
#7

![]() My bad. I guess he won an off-the-turf at Ellis Park.
Guess they'll do a rain dance. The good news is they don't need to worry about a lead pony for the time being. |

![]() Ah. I should have kept reading.

![]() He has 5 wins in his last 5 starts in Kentucky, including 4 stakes wins. I’m not sure what else you could ask for. His maiden win was by 14 lengths on the dirt, wasn’t it?

![]() Personally, I wouldn't be confident in his ability to handle the dirt based on that Ellis Park race. It was off-the-turf which presumably means most entered in that race were looking to run on the turf. Sure enough, the subsequent performances of the horses behind Tiz the Bomb in that race have been nothing to write home about.
He probably should have won by 31 lengths... His Holy Bull effort was atrocious. |
