Kip Deville to dominate the VA derby

What? The extra 1/16th means everything with that horse. He is a speedball who eventually will run out of gas. Nobody bothered him last race and he barely made it to the wire. This race he has to go 1/16th more. Like I said, against these horses he might hang on, but I doubt you see him in the grade 1 in 4 weeks because Showing Up and Bill Mott's horse would humiliate him at 10F.

Maybe BC Mile or something like that, but 10F is a lot to ask for a horse that can't rate. Ask Sinister Minister.

unfair that everyone is saying he was on an unchallenged lead. The rider tapped him 4x at the start and he ran off. To grab him at that point is a mistake, he was on a clear lead because he set fractions that were more like a timer malfunction. He ran them off there feet. If the half was more like 47 he would have won

Uh, no. He would not have won. The better horse won, and he won easily. That horse could never beat a good horse that can rate. This is turf racing, not dirt. The good ones all have explosive turns of foot. You will never find a great turf horse that runs on the lead.

Milers. KD might be a BC Mile horse, but this race isn't a mile.

agree his best distance will surely be a mile. He may just be better than these 4 miles over the jumps. Horses like Ec or cicique different story

I have said it on 2 other threads and I will say it on this one...

What is the website mentioned earlier for the connections of this horse? What is the name of the horse that is running in the claiming Crowm. I suspect it is the only Dutrow horse that is entered I am not looking at the entries but I believe its Sinners N Saints. They must be very confident if they are hopping on a plane to fly to Canterbury Park.
