This is the second time youve asked Steve about this horse with no response. Somebody wake that guy up!

Steve will answer i'm sure once he sees my post

He liked him in tampa and in ill - we'll see as he does a big time analysis of every derby horse so i'm sure we will get input from him at some point - there is plenty of time

if i hear anything from my man , ill be sure to post

let's just hope hammering hank , beyer and the rest of the so called experts say he is too slow and can't win , then the public won't jump on him come derby day

I was only busting chops about Steve.

And seeing how the horse doesnt have a big flashy trainer and a household name Jockey or a pretty name for the ladies I think his price is safe at 25-1.

Well it's a double edged sword, because you know if Hank picks him as a win contender, you can safely toss him from all wagers.

There's no reason to worry about not getting a fair price on him. You will.

Musket Man is a useful horse and it's hard to knock an animal who keeps on winning, but I think it's foolish to make him the stone-cold lock. There are lots of very good horses on this trail right now

Travis i don't think there was ever a stone cold lock for any derby

Holly Bull looked awfully good and went straight to his knees , Arazi well we know what happened there, and Point Given to name a few

musket man will never be considered a lock , but ,this is good as it will help his price

You can say this for every horse in the race but the cards do have to fall his way. I dont think if he gets in any type of trouble that he will be able to overcome but seeing that he doesnt get in that much trouble in his races and he does have a nice style about him I will take my chances on 25-1 or higher to make a big score. Now I will also have plenty of backup tickets with the horses that figure but if I am to take a chance on any horse in the race to make a big score it would be this one. Im def not calling him a lock but a very nice value.
