lookin at lucky

Sounds good maybe the PA and Super Derby will have big fields then

The PA Derby's noms looked really nice-looked like the Travers all over

ALW Exhi
Fly Down Friend or Foe
First Dude Golden Moka
Afleet Express Ice Box
Afleet Again Thiskyhasnolimit
Trappe Shot Trickmeister
Hurricane Ike Ibboyee

Super Derby not so much tho

Anyone know what is going on with Concord Point? Ran 2 great races but thats it-isnt nominated to either race and doubt he runs in the IN Derby now that LaL is going there with his jock?

[deltagulf]

right under the lights and probably easy money for him .
agree should be better fields for super derby and pa derby now .

For what it's worth Hoosier does not run at nights on weekends and this race will be run in the afternoon as far as I know.

Someone in the racing office at Hoosier has won Bob Baffert over as this will now be the 2nd consecutive year he sent a horse to the Ind Derby.

Hoosier has a very long stretch too. Sorta like the track where the BC will be ran this year....

LOL. Maybe it's a blinkers thing.

I guess I give LAL a pass for not stepping up vs olders since he has suffered some minor health issues, but the overriding theme of 2010 continues to the graded stakes horses finding the softest spots. Stakes racing in the US this year resembles a starter allowance series.

this has been going on for years, with horses dodging each other for most of the season, if not all of it. it's why last years rachel campaign got so much buzz. it seems the only race this year where some of the best faced off was blame vs quality road.
but hey, if zenyatta gets a pass for racing nobodies all year, i guess lookin at lucky can do the same. baffert knows all he has to do is get to the bc in one piece and the 3 yo eclipse is his.

The 3yo Eclipse is his regardless.
