Audible looked by far the best of the prep winners Saturday... I'm still not sold 100% for the KD since it's Pletch at GP this time of year. But he did look good.
Sporting Chance is supposed to run at OP on 2/19... hopefully he's set and ready.

Audible did look good. I need to see more to add him. Javier Castellano is loaded with three year olds. If he chooses well he could get his Derby this year.

With Zulfikahr not getting a start in the San Vicente I think I'll replace him with Audible.

Hoping Catholic Boy does well... short field though
May they run with the wind

Keep your eyeballs on Tenfold, trained by Asmussen. He broke his maiden first out on Feb. 7-  8.5f at OP, running very greenly, but won by open lengths and looked like he wanted to go around again on the gallop out.
Curlin x Tapit mare.... so the pedigree is there.

Combatant and Sporting Chance both looked good in the Southwest imo. Both ran well against the bias. If I had to take a horse out of this one it would be Sporting Chance. First start in almost 6 months, ran against track bias, close early to a solid pace  and got bumped sideways by the runner up mid-stretch. Plus he was a little late switching leads.
I would expect him to move forward next out. Combatant was actually my top pick and also ran well, though with a somewhat better trip than SC. He also bumped that one soundly mid-stretch, but no DQ. Maybe the stewards determined Sporting Chance's late pace wasn't enough to him past Combatant anyway.

Should be a good rematch in the Rebel if all show up.

 :racinghorse: :racinghorse:Maybe Oaklawn is the place to be for the (3) year olds chasing the Derby dream.
I did mention Bravazo after his alw win another who is running lights
out is Articulator running this Sat Oak R5 #4  :chickendance

Senator L

there go his derby dreams  :lmao:

I wasn't impressed with the FOY at all, but it had more to do with the way the race unfolded than any one performance, other than possibly Good Magic who ran a flat race by most estimations. The top 3 went around the track like a merry go round race; closers had no shot, but might not have been good enough anyway. I wouldn't touch the winner next out, unless it appears on paper that he gets to dictate a slow pace again. Even then, at a short price, no thanks.
