Also, on a side note.  I don't know why horses don't get shipped more.  Looking at the Louisiana Derby probables.  Man what a weak field.

Quote

2017 Louisiana Derby (G2)

Date/Track:
4/1/2017, Fair Grounds Race Course
 
Distance:
1 1/8 m (Dirt)
 
Age/Sex:
3 M
 
*Rank is current Power Ranking among all active horses, based on highest HRN rating. Rating is based on HRN member voting.

 

But then on the same day, you look at the Florida Derby probables.

Quote

2017 Florida Derby (G1)

Date/Track:
4/1/2017, Gulfstream Park
 
Distance:
1 1/8 m (Dirt)
 
Age/Sex:
3 M

Quinellas are a bit of a joke, Tank. A $2 quinella usually pays less than a $1 exacta. So it makes sense to play two different $1 exactas. 

I have just doubled my entire horse racing vocabulary. Thank you.

I could never understand why they kept quinellas around, especially. after the inception of $1 exactas. I don't think I have ever bet one.

Classic Empire headed back from 5/8s Gate work at Winding Oaks 59.3 1:13 under @JulienLeparoux @DRFDerby @DRFPrivman @BloodHorse

 

The picture gets muddier. With no Japan horse it opens up another slot. Could be a year with less than 20?

Three Rules in the Florida means he still has a chance to come through for you GB.

I'm hoping Three Rules runs big. 

Also, with the Japan horse.  If Epicharis declines, then the offer goes to Mount St Leguime or however you spell it.  And if he declines, then Adirato.  If that horse declines, then no Japanese horse.  I just don't know when they have to commit. Would have to think it's soon, due to quarantine issues.

The Bluegrass in a couple of weeks is already shaping up into a nice race.

It's Your Nickel K. McPeek Probable    
Tapwrit T. Pletcher Probable    
Lookin At Lee S. Asmussen Probable    
J Boys Echo D. Romans Probable    
McCraken I. Wilkes Probable    

 

Sounds like Practical Joke is heading to the BlueGrass instead of the Florida Derby.  I guess it makes sense.  He really only needs to finish 4th to get above 40 points.  In a 6 horse field, it shouldn't be a problem for him.

Shaping into a race that should answer a lot of questions..or maybe raise some new ones.
