Now that I have finally gotten all the egg off my face and my size 11 1/2 shoe out of my mouth its time to get back horse racing?

Buddy Gill is very interesting in this weeks Santa Anita Derby. In the race down the hill on turf, prior to the San Felipe, he ran a very competitive 2 1/2. Because of the significant forward move that he made and because it was on turf, not dirt, horseplayers let him slide off in the San Felipe at 9-1.
He seems to fit a pattern we have discussed here before where some 3 YO horses who figure to bounce in the spring just do not do so. This horse has good tactical speed, won inspite of a very troubled trip and figures to be a decent price again.

The fact that he recently switched to a trainer who seems to have discovered the necessary magic formula is also part of the equation.

We will need to see the TG numbers before a reliable decision can be made but Buddy Gill could be dangerous again.
