Derby Prep splits; Come home times

[dalakhani]

Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. His come home time confirmed what I saw the other day and I would love to see Papa get a derby. At the same time, I would rather cheer with a full pocket book!

I'm a little biased here because I took Setsuko for $5 in Futures Pool #2 (at 65-1) but IF he gets in, he will also be the youngest colt in the lineup. He was foaled on May 8th with Rule probably being the oldest in the gate (foaled Jan 13th). I'm not that concerned about his dirt ability but wouldn't have minded seeing him try it before any of the Triple Crown races. His best days could be later this summer and fall. I do find it interesting that his prior workouts to the SA Derby were bullets, yet he showed no pace in the beginning of the race. There will be at least 10 toss outs in this years lineup but at least this colt can finish and will be in all my tri's and super's.

The thing I really want to know about Setsuko is: who is his exercise rider?

Who didn't toss the winner last year please stand up. Gold star for seeing something, dunce hat for liking much of anything about that colt.

I'm greatly anticipating my Setsuko vs. overhyped horse X head-to-head prediction sometime before the Derby. I don't know who this year's Dunkirk is yet, unfortunately. Dunkirk even at this point last year was a lot more talented than a lot of the 2010 Derby contenders.
