Read just a little: hard to ignore Any Given Saturday & lately Curlin'-- Nobiz Like Showbiz yeah, & Cowtown Cat (whom you don't mention but some good results I think)-- that might be my bet-- or for 'saftety,' Any Given Saturday. But really though I enjoy these big races, I don't know much. Ed

HEY ED, NICE HANDICAPPING !! TRUE, THE CAT WON THE ILLINOIS DERBY & I OVERLOOKED HIM ... PLETCHER HAD OTHER HEAVY HITTERS GOING IN... DIDN'T HAVE A FEEL FOR THE CAT..

ANY GIVEN.. ON MY LIST.. AFTER CHECKING PP'S... I FELT HE COULDN'T GO THE DISTANCE.. AS WITH THE OTHERS.. THAT WAS MY ISSUE. .. FROM THE STAKES RACES..

I ENDED UP WITH HARD SPUN AS MY 5TH ENTRY

CURLIN IS GETTING THE ATTENTION & SHOULD.. I DON'T HAVE HIM IN MY STABLE... .. YOUNG, I THOUGHT & HOPE.. DIDN'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE.....

SO, I WENT BACK TO THE BREEDER'S AND FELT GOOD WITH STREET SENCE AND SCAT DADDY.. HAD TO THROW CIRCULAR QUAY IN FOR PLETCHER.. 8 WEEK LAYOFF.. I THOUGHT ... HE HAS TO KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING... NOT TO BE

SO, AS THEY RIPPED OUT OF THE GATE -- I THOUGHT HARD SPUN WAS GOING WIRE TO WIRE. BABY.. DID STREET SENSE GET A RIDE.. MONDO CREDIT TO HIS JOCKEY.. ...I HAVEN'T HAD A GOOD FEEL FOR A TRIPLE CROWN SINCE SMARTY JONES

I WENT WITH THE TOP MONEY MAKER.. --LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PREAKNESS... THANKS ED.. CURLIN CAME FROM BEHIND PRETTY DARN GOOD.. SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT ON THE 19TH.. TIL THEN, I AM ONE HAPPY DERBY WINNER

[egoodstein]

Good job !! I thought at least here Street Sense ran very impressive race. I had Curlin
across the board (local little Derby party so I got a couple bucks--hahaha!). It was a very good race I thought. Curlin did come back & sure LOOKS an impressive thoroughbred. We'll see at Pimlico. . . Ed

[Kathy ~]

KUDOS ED ;D

NICE WIN.. YOU MUST HAVE HAD GUT INSTINCT & A PERFECT RECORD TO HIT WITH CURLIN.. HE IS A COME FROM BEHIND HORSE...HE PROVED HIMSELF IN THE DERBY..

I HOPE THIS IS THE YEAR WE SEE A TRIPLE CROWN.. NOT TO TAKE AWAY FROM CURLIN, HARD SPUN OR THE "OTHERS" THAT DIDN'T RUN THE ROSES.. ( SPOILERS).. I HOPE TO SEE A TRIPLE CROWN IN MY LIFETIME... AFFIRMED/ALYDAR.. 1978... GEEEEEZ

GOOD LUCK & KEEP ME "POSTED" ;D ;D ;D
