I’m glad to see Old Friends is taking care of Polish Navy, the sire of one of my rare Derby wins, Sea Hero. Anyone who picks the Derby tri should
donate a few (5 % ???) bucks………good idea. Breeding is always a factor. Chocolate Candy has Affirmed’s half-sister on his dam’s side, with the caveat that Alydar was the sire rather than Exclusive Native. That can’t be a bad thing.
I just don’t know if Pioneerof The Nile will let him by. POTN’s dam Star of Goshen was tremendously talented. The Lewis Stakes in February seems to be the defining prep race, as Quality Road is out.

I am an equine exercise physiologist and I was at Churchill yesterday for the training accident, followed by the work by Rachel Alexandra.

The two events are closely related, check the above link to find out why.

Thanks!-

Bill

REGAL RANSOM turned in an especially sharp work at CD. HOLD ME BACK saddled by the ‘trainer’s-trainer’ Bill Mott has been working well under the radar. FRIESAN FIRE was very sharp in a 5F work. ADVICE the other PLETCHER entry worked well as did WEST SIDE BERNIE and FLYING PRIVATE worked best of all for DWAYNE. THIS IS THE FIRST K-DERBY IN 20 YEARS I WILL NOT BE BETTING – NOT $1 DOLLAR NOT $2DOLLARS – NOTHING NUNCA NADA. This is a true ‘horse-race’ where i think REGAL RANSOM will vie for the lead with PIONEER-of-the-NILE and others. And then it will be a calvary charge with jockeys taking aim with as many as 5-or-6 that could get there at the wire. Heck – even TODD’it-was-the-fast-track-that-made-my-horse-lose’PLETCHER with expensive DUNKIRK (had a nice work in his last) could win this!!! Play numbers or colours or anything you think of could happen. FRIESAN FIRE off his last work could be the horse to beat – really don’t know have no ‘feel’ for this race. BUT OTHERS HAVE WORKED WELL ALSO OFF OF VICTORIES AND DEFEATS – BEWARE EXPERIENCED TRAINER’S ALLOWING THEIR HORSES BULLET WORKS AFTER SUPPOSEDLY CRUSHING DEFEATS!!! Too many horses have question marks coming in from synthetic surfaces, new jockeys, and the bugaboo that they ‘ve only raced a very limited number of times with no prevalent form. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL. HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE A GREAT RACE TOO WATCH?! NO BET – SAVE IT FOR THE PREAKNESS.
