Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

No, he stated with Steve it was a 95.

I was making dinner and spit out my Diet Coke when I heard him say something about "not ruling out the Derby yet...."

I guess she's a better fit for the Derby than Going Wild back in 2005....

That's what I thought I heard too... had a mouthful of pasta at the time. (Nope, it didn't end up on the screen... nothing surprises me anymore.)

And for heavens sake... switch to regular coke... diet is AWFUL for your health.

I know I know. But I've adjusted to the taste of diet. The real stuff tastes like syrup at this point.

I have no problem with people saying a filly shouldn't run in the Derby. But at least if u are going to say that, u should also say that at least 10 of the males that will be in there shouldn't be there either. That 95 she earned put her in the same area as 90% of the male contenders. If she can run a 95 and shouldn't be there, neither should Nobiz, who's yet to crack 98 in his career.

Speed figures are just educated opinions, not facts.

Please forward this to Red Dog and hope he interprets it correctly.

by that you mean that her figure was actually better than it appears and she definitely belongs in the starting gate on may 6th?

Actually I was implying that her running in the Derby based upon a 95 Beyer is sheer folly. Not only is she not close to being good enough she is also not especially bred to be effective at a mile and a quarter. Only superior filly's like Winning Colors should be considered for the Derby. Isn't it bad enough that we have mediocre colts taking up spaces in the field?
