You know why I picked him as my name.  You have seen ruffian and secretariat?

i have watched the races since the 70's i had to kick my dad off the tv when it was on ..lucky car races were done just in time for it...loved watching them then and still now i have gone to the track mostly for harness races

Ok. That must be an older track. I have not heard of it. Who do you think will be the 2015 Sovereign Award winner for 2YOs? That might be my bet for this year's Kentucky Derby.

[Bydo 20,129]

yea the track was open back in the 80" till they closed it..i'm not sure will need to check this years horses ..im behind this year on it normally i watch sorry

 

ok watch these horses ..due to they have been racing over the winter where the others are not racing...these two could be in the top three ..

 

Mor Spirit

 

Flexibility

I'm thinking Riker would be on top of that list.

 

Here is KD Pool 1 (November) for early betting: Pool 1

[Bydo 20,129]

yea i would also watch that one it looks good with impressive win sheet

[ManoWar_awesome 26]

He has a full brother named Irish Pharaoh born last year. He will probably be pointed to the 2018 Kentucky Derby.

Also a half brother named Champion of the Nile and a sister named American Cleopatra

I was there - my family, relatives and I were seated across from the 1/8th pole. First come, first serve back then. It was a madhouse the entire race but even more so when they came at the top of the stretch. THAT was a duel!

So lucky!!!!!!! Did you see SECRETARIAT????

No. At the time I did not know about him. But I did know about Forego and Wajima. I was there for Forego's last race when he got beat by Upper Nile. But Forego was carrying 132 lbs to Upper Nile's 119 lbs. It was a rainy day and  muddy track. I followed Triple Crown only after I saw Seattle Slew win it on TV. Remember those days? Twelve channels and ABC's Wide World of Sports was the descendant of ESPN. That ski jumper must be mad every time they show him with the part saying "and the agony of defeat".

what year?

[ManoWar_awesome 26]

I wonder who will win this year

[Benefactor 6,888]

I wonder who will win this year

One of the top two who has the fastest time at 9F. The time has to be =< 1:48.1.

 

Mohaymen is the favorite so far. But I will wait. I will box the two fastest at 9F in a heavy exacta.

 

Did you see California Chrome with the Dubai Cup over the weekend? He's getting better with age.

[Benefactor 6,888]

We should have a good idea of who is running in the Kentucky Derby after the Arkansas Derby this weekend.

Don't watch that
