Wow, been a while since I've been by the old TG board except to get the Derby sheets and I can't recognize a thing on this new bulletin board. Amazing how avoiding studying for a criminal law final will get you back here. I just noticed something intersting (again, while avoiding studying) everyone knows the BC Juvenile jinx in the Derby, no horse has ever won both. But, in the last 10 years, has any horse who has RUN in the BC Juv ever won the Derby? War Emblem didn't, Monarchos didn't, Pegasus didn't, Charismatic sure as hell didn't, Real Quiet didn't, Silver Charm didn't, I don't think Grindstone or Thunder Gulch did, I'm pretty sure neither Lil E. Tee or Sea Hero did and almost positive neither Zito, Strike the Gold or Go for Gin did. The last horse I can remember running in the Juv and winning the Derby is Alysheba. That's starting to look like a pretty good toss, especially since many recent short prices have come out of the Juv (Point Given, Favorite Trick, Came Home). Kinda goes to the whole too fast too soon theory. Hey, as long as I'm back here, I'm going to toss in a plug for my boy Nick Canani since I see Alydar has come out of his short retirement. Did you catch the Inglewood? Helluva race. 3/5ths off the track record...
