Ken McPeek has taken notice of a photo from Gulfstream Park in 1999 that shows Lemon Drop Kid winning what appeared to be an everyday allowance race on a January afternoon. Almost a decade has passed since Lemon Drop Kid used that race toward a campaign that included victories in the Belmont and Travers stakes for the late Scotty Schulhofer, and McPeek is one trainer keenly aware that when it comes to 3-year-olds, every single step is a critical one.

![]() 1/5 odds say that the winner of this race or a horse that's a late running second will generate a lot of early hype but will be nowhere near the winners circle come any important races for 3yo's this year, with the possible exception of the Belmont Stakes.

![]() Since we haven't had a 'This is my Derby horse' thread yet, I figured I would be the guy to start one. This horse Danger to Society really was impressive today IMO. He is out of Harlan's Holiday out of a Deputy Minister mare, who produced Silver Charm. I am assuming that he wasn't 100% cranked and still beat some horses that are being considered to be very talented. He is my official Derby horse for 2009.
Looking forward to seeing him run in the upcoming stakes at Gulfstream. |

![]() 1) I need to correct myself and say that Danger to Society's dam is a half to Silver Charm
2) Idol Maker once he gets gelded will be good, and They're Late has some talent. Probably shouldn't have used 'very' though... |
