I was hoping for pieces on Commendable, Sarava, and D' Tara.

He's now lost two crappy allowance races at GP. It hasn't been pretty for the Count since June 7.

No idea - but I had the pick 4 a couple times for a $1 if Denis of Cork would have won - and I seem to remember it paying something like $1,400 to him.

Denis of Cork's 97 is the all-time lowest Beyer ever earned in a 3rd place finish in the Derby.

That was some group of 3yo's last year.

'93 was horrible though - I think Bullintheheather won the Florida Derby - Storm Tower won the Wood - Personal Hope won the Santa Anita Derby and Rockomundo won the Arkasnas Derby at 100/1

I think Afleet Alex held that distinction prior to that with a 98, which was a bogus figure anyways because there was no way they would ever give the Derby winner less than a 100 even though it should have been about a 96-97.

trivia... who ended up being the best sire from the 1993 Derby? (hint: it ain't sayin' much about the group)

I actually think the 99 Afleet Alex got for running 3rd is the highest Beyer for a 3rd place finisher in the Derby in the last five years.

Cherokee Run passed the race so can't be him.

Dixieland Heat won that years Lousianna Derby .. he sired Xtra Heat but was otherwise an awful, awful stallion.

Don't forget Sterling Heat, he won for 20k last week for Dutrow.
He has the Dynaformer on the bottom to bail him out, somewhat.

Always put down a 10 spot on the prettiest pony.

I believe it was Kasept who first told me that.

Look at the two of you... Comedy gold! Martin and Rossi... Stiller and Meara... It's like the phucking Friar's Club around here.

Andy... Shouldn't you be at the Angelika for the Armenian Film Festival?
