Happy Derby Day!
May. 7th, 2005 11:45 amIf Afleet Alex gets a good trip in the Derby, he should be able to win. I don't care what people say about Bellamy Road. Sure, he won the Wood Memorial by 17 1/2 lengths, but the competition he raced against was nonexistent. The last time Bellamy Road ran a race where he was challenged, he crashed and burned. I believe he will do the same today.
I'll probably end up being wrong, but I predict:
1st Alfeet Alex
2nd Bandini
3rd High Fly
I have quite a bit of money down on the Derby, but it's spread between a few horses, so I'm not likely to win much if one of the horses wins. Unless, of course, one of my long shots stages a major upset and wins the Derby. Hah.
Allowance race, 3-years-old & Up
Win: Mighty Military
Place: Florida Keys
Show: Cool Conductor
That would be the first race today. (Cool Conductor won the race, but he got disqualified to third. For no reason, might I add. Florida Keys bumped into Mighty Military and I guess people think if that hadn't happened, Mighty Military would have won. I don't think so - Cool Conductor was gone, gone, gone. So they disqualified Cool Conductor and said Mighty Military won the race.)
Then the bigger Derby Day races:
Derby Day Post Times - CST Time
12:21 P.M. Chuchill Downs Handicap
1:11 P.M. Three Chimneys Juvenile
2:03 P.M. WinnerComm Turf Mile

3:52 P.M. Woodford Reserve Turf
5:04 P.M. Kentucky Derby
That's all for now.
