The 1 goes out, the 3 sits right off her outside a half length back, the rest are waiting to close into the speed, but turning for home the 3 takes off (the rail is blocked by the stopping 1 and everyone else has to swing wide) and that's all she wrote. Piece of cake

Good luck Bob, Chuck, Cherie!

Default z fortune

for anyone who saw the espn telecast, it appears jerry b and randy moss both like him more then the winner. they also both said they would take him over gayego in the derby. i have never been a fan of this horse, but he is the " other asmussen" and does have a nice running style.

anyone thing he has a legit shot ?

As of right now, he is my Derby value play. If you take a hard look at the Arkansas Derby he was 3-4 lengths better than Gayego. Breaking from an outside post, he was a good 6-7 paths out in the first turn and he was outside again on the far turn coming home and he still closed on Gayego. Im not sure how many more feet he travelled but I would bet at least 100. Id love to get something like 20-1 on him.

I don't care if he was wide. If he was any good he would've blown by Gayego in the lane.

I dont understand how you can say that. He was clearly wide throughout which costed him a couple of lengths anwyays and he ran right alongside Gayego down a long stretch at Oaklawn. He lost by 3/4 of a length, it's not like Gayego was opening up on him. I think Z Fortune is the better horse, my opinion.
