@DRFHersh@reredevaux@DailyRacingForm 100% think that burst of rain changed the track and was very advantageous to Golden Tempo. No wat he wins without the rain!
@DRFHersh@ChurchillDowns 3/1 UK was available with the bookies but quickly vanished. Betfair exchange followed the late CAW money and she was 1.8/1 post time whereas #5 was 1.4/1 which made absolutely no sense at all. CAW has major affects on US markets on UK exchanges.
@abracing0 Any chance they go for the Preakness in 2 weeks time as that was a huge effort by Danon Bourbon and he looked gone halfway down the Churchill Downs stretch? Likely he ran the best race overall.
@EclassRacing@doubles_2003@claydoeski After watching the Derby and the total lack of quality speed you feel the Preakness is a legit goal but it's so much to ask so soon. I'd prefer a rest and to target the Haskell. This horse is an absolute beast and a joy to watch
@EclassRacing@doubles_2003 Well that was a sensational race by Crude Velocity but I hope he doesn't go to the Preakness despite the fact I think he could be extremely live
@EclassRacing@doubles_2003 Crude Velocity 5/2 and Englishman 3/1 on the morning line both seem like pipe dreams!! Perfectly reasonable to believe these are the 2 best 3 year olds to run on Derby day! Be lucky to get Evens on Crude Velocity ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@EclassRacing@doubles_2003 Field has been drawn and it looks a total 2 horse race. Crude Velocity drew half decent in post 6 whereas Englishman got the 1 hole which is far from ideal but in a weak renewal he can get the lead pretty easily if desired. Race of the day as always is the Churchill Downs.
@abracing0 Ryan Moore has always been lauded for going inside on the US Turf as was Buick in the Breeders Cup Mile win last year. Today it was the wrong move but I'm sure the so called weak US jocks knew his very obvious plan!!
@EclassRacing@doubles_2003 The Preakness plan seems like total lunacy!! Would make more sense to target the Met Mile, obviously that would be a tough spot but at least you get a 5 week break. Do you not think Englishman has huge upside as well and could cause Crude Velocity problems in the Pat Day Mile?
@EclassRacing@doubles_2003 I'm far from convinced that running Crude Velocity in the notoriously rough Pat Day Mile will be good for the longevity of his career. 3 races in just 8 weeks could have an adverse affect + it's hardly a stallion making race!! Horse is super talented no doubt.
@EclassRacing@doubles_2003 Pat Day Mile would be a total disaster for him. A nice allowance win next would be great then assess. Haskell is the option if breaking forwardly on second start and dominant over 7 furlongs or further.
@doubles_2003 No, I was in the process and it got cut but clearly some shrewdies hit the jackpot!! With all the speed in the race CW could go off fav as NS + SD are both speedsters and race hopefully sets up perfectly. CW been working with Bendoog as well and coming out on top ๐
@Tony_Nwk@RacingPost Hopeless ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ Ka Ying Rising is so far superior to any Euro sprinter it's embarrassing!! Royal Ascot has zero attraction for top World horses as the money is so dismal + Saudi Cup, Dubai World Cup, Breeders Cup, Everest etc are way better race meets in today's world.
@keenelandlefty Never heard such utter rubbish. Sovereignty would've finished 4th in that Classic and been majorly exposed as a massively overrated 3 year old. One big fig beating the mighty Bracket Buster in the worst Travers in history!!
