If Giant Oak doesn't win this it's really time for a surface change.

Does Hawthorne always draw 5 days out?

Jose Espinoza wasn't available.

It's about par for an Ill Derby...plenty of candidates to run 6th or worse on May 2.

True, he was an exception...unfortunately he only recently grabbed his 1st win since last April.

There are actually a few in there who might be decent horses down the road. Hopefully no Cowtown Cats.

Perfect Song ran 3 times(Jan, Feb and March).Wired his 6 furlong maiden race at Philly by 6 lengths; lost on Turfway's synthetic by a head at 6.5 furlongs in Feb; then won an allowance at Laurel at a mile, again easily on the front end. Bris speed figs were 100, 90 and 99 respectively for those races

Perfect Song is going to be way out in front of these guys

Unless he draws an extreme post, this one's gone.

What do you think the odds will be,10-1?

It's actually a G2 not G3.

I wonder if a horse ever exiting a maiden 20 claimer has ever been favored in a grade 2 before.

Draws an extreme post? Mike... He's the 6. They already drew. It's the basis for the thread...

Steve, I'm sure you can give him a pass. I mean, this DID almost deteriorate into another Giant Oak thread pretty quickly.

If Giant Oak WINS this, it's because the other 10 horses scratched out of the race!!
