I like Midnight Crooner a little if he goes off at 15-1. He romped over a next-out winner in his only synth start. Not nominated to the TC, so it's not like they shipped here because they got Derby fever.

I agree about Midnight Crooner....Wonder why he wasn't nominated?

The conspiracy theorist in me assumes that MC was shipped and will win to ensure Bodemiester isn't blocked from the derby by someone like Holy Candy, etc.

That was quite the ride Aruna and Zagora were given, rating at the back off :25 and :50 fractions.

That was so painful to watch. 1-16 turf race, and they go nearly 51 for the half? How could the jocks not realize that??!

At what point does the illustrious Commonwealth lose its graded status?

Do you really think the grading clowns would dare change the status of a Keeneland graded stake?

Gimme Great Mills in the Shakertown !!

Ususally never trust Leparoux, but he's gotta be there on this guy today.

I agree with you so the horse has no shot.

Also since I hate Hansen that guarantees he'll win by 5+

Keeneland is murderers row. Glad you got something out of it. I'm wisely on the sidelines. That place has ruined my bankroll for derby too many years.

I am trying to beat Hansen too so maybe we have a little something going here.
I wanted to play Heavy Breathing but 33-1 on a Pletcher horse is a lil scary.
That means NO ONE is betting him...no one of importance that is.

Dullahan is a classic big day trap horse. Looks like Holy Candy got the ones who abandoned ship. Just looks too good to be true.

It's either Hansen or Ever So Lucky.
