If you are looking for a legit Derby horse in this race, getting some well deserved sleep is a good option. But this is being run in the dead of winter in the coldest place in New York City. What more can you ask for in a stakes race on the first Saturday in February in Ozone Park?

I'm not looking for anything and have about zero interest in thinking about these races at this point. I was simply joking about Byk thinking this was shaping up as an interesting race.

I have spent hundreds of days in the dead of winter at Aqueduct. My corner, on the West side of Manhattan, just off the water, is much colder.

Fair enough. But while we're trying to stay warm remember one thing. 180 days till Opening Day.

Opening day may coincide with the $1200 I'll be getting for my tax rebate.

Let it Ride!

$400 WPS

Just kidding. My wife probably already has that money spent.

Default impress me

For the interest of the division will be rooting for a horse like a Cave's Valley or a Roman Emperor to run a career best.

Spanky Fischbein seems to be rounding into an honest horse.
