Location: Ky | BlazeFlameHarley - 2014-05-02 12:18 PM jd&ez - 2014-05-02 9:46 AM BlazeFlameHarley - 2014-05-02 12:31 AM I'm going with Tapiture(big Tapit fan) California Chrome And, I saw Ride On Curlin break his maiden last year at Ellis, that dude is CLASSY, even as a 2yr old he had his own "presence", so he is one of my picks. Definitely helps that Calvin is on him. Wish he was closer to the rail but if ROC and Borel are on their game and trust each other they should be fine. Are you going to be at Ellis tomorrow? No, unfortunately my husband and I promised to go to Illinois with my parents to help my mom with her geneology research (I wasn't thinking about it being Derby day! ). Have fun! I have never been over at the club house during a big race but I usually work for a trainer through the summer so I am on the backside a LOT, if you ever come down to watch the races through the season let me know! I would love to meet up with you!
We go quite often for the live meet. No clubhouse for us then. Usually go on Sundays for the $1 beer and $1 hotdogs.
We go to the clubhouse for the Triple Crown races when there is nothing going on down on the track.
I'll let you know when we come over during the live meet. |

Location: your guess is as good as mine | Danza (gotta root on the Ark Derby winner & reports have him training like a boss)
Tapiture (fan of Steve A. - plus he has his regular jockey back)
Ride On Curlin (learned to never bet against CB in the Derby)
...but I won't be betting any money lol! Sure wouldn't break my heart a bit if CC wins it either... |

Location: So. California | These are young horses, don't think that move was planned, just managed... :-)
It looked to me like Espinoza stood in the stirrups well before the finish line, CC was easing up as they hit the wire... Did I see that wrong?

You saw it correct. He knows he has to come back with this horse in two weeks. Espinoza was riding smart.

Location: So. California | Lucky Pulpit's breeding fee is "private"...
Do you think they added at least a zero, maybe 2 zero's to his previous stud fee?
What does the sire of a Kentucky Derby winner command?

His fee is $2,500.oo live foal. I do not seeing anything changing for this year since the breeding season is all but over for the T/B industry.

On the website for where he stands it shows "private".
Just curious what a sire of Derby winner can command in fees... I would think at least 50-60K for next season?
