Then he stepped on a rock or something the day before the Derby and was scratched. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>Btw Alan, you might mention a sneaky-type Derby prospect out on the West Coast right nopw by the name of Reflect Times. He's owned by Koji Maeda, the same guy who owned Sunday Break (shown running third in your Buddha video). Sunday Break was trained by Drysdale, while Reflect Times is trained by Shirreffs, but i believe both horses are/were Japan-breds. Shirreffs has been successful in getting recent trainees to the Derby, too. <BR/><BR/>PS - You might also take a look at Yankee Bravo, who won the California Derby yesterday. Interesting colt, that one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-52108627648500789582008-01-28T13:08:00.000-05:002008-01-28T13:08:00.000-05:00The TVG guy made a great case for Dynegy, showing ...The TVG guy made a great case for Dynegy, showing his previous race and his come-from-behind running style.<BR/>I though the analysis was excellent.<BR/>Alan, I was on barrons.com yesterday and I went into the archives to read your horse-ownership article.<BR/>That is about the best opening of an article that I ever read.<BR/>(In my whole life, I only have one that I think could rival it)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-36998268499775927412008-01-28T12:33:00.000-05:002008-01-28T12:33:00.000-05:00Ala,I have never seen that race.
