![]() Don't have all the splits, but there was Oaks action aplenty too as Bret Calhoun's JODY SLEW (:48.2/1:01.1) and Dale Romans' QUIET TEMPER (1:03.0) worked, while Todd Pletcher sent AILALEA and Colizeo out in tandem with Ailalea getting the better of her stablemate in a shade over 1:00.0...
Jody Slew's effort was the notable best of the 4 as she really picked it up late and past the wire...

CRISP also worked in amongst the crush and Sadler told Welsch he was happy with her seemingly casual 1:14.0...

![]() Post race Derby comments...
Paddy O'Prado ( 13th )....Desourmeaux " I really thought he was going to win on the backstretch but he got discouraged when Super Saver backed up in his face at the 5/8ths pole and just shut down. Romans " I guess despite working well on the dirt he's, not surprisingly, a turf horse. We'll regroup and point for the Secretariat this summer. I should have listened to Paseka and left him in the barn. "

If Paddy O'Prado wins the Derby I'll kindly ask Andy's source to make me a super dunce cap (with an Italian flag decal) and wear it each day I'm at Saratoga. NT |

![]() so what? these guys get paid to ride and win. they are not PR people or public speakers, they are JOCKEYS for crying out loud. why would you listen to what most of them say? no one will ever accuse him of being a genius but not many win as much as he does either. all i know is when that guy is on the back of a horse you better pay attention.

![]() For what its worth, and I didn't even bet the horse, nor did I think he would win, but Desormeaux's ride on Hold Me Back in the 2009 Derby was one of the worst in recent memory. He literally gave that horse no SHOT of doing anything with a mind-boggling move around the clubhouse turn.
Man amazes me. |
