Even with Rockport Harbor out, once again the Kentucky Derby is looking like the NHRA top fuel elimination finals.
Spanish Chestnut looks to be going and despite the miscalucated pace figures on this horse, he can motor and if he breaks well motor he will.
Going Wild is a horse that wants a front end trip. He finally got the lead from outside Lexington day but he was too off form and too used up to do much once he had it. Look for a much improved effort Derby day and don't be surprised if Lukas tries to seize the pace with him.
High Limit has one style and adding blinkers its only going to be embellished.
Bellamy Road is also a horse that has known one pace tactic. Its going to be very interesting Derby day to find out if he can rate without being discouraged. Or if they send him and he can't overtake the others....absolutely intriguing.
Consolidator will be forwardly placed if he's capable of it. His first work at Churchill was not inspiring so we'll see.
So whats the bet? Everyone thinks that Bellamy may be the second coming and that he has the highest figure for a 3 year old ever. I don't, however I'm not gonna let him beat me without a buck riding on his nose in a Partial Tri Wheel. I'm not gonna spend much on this. Its just a saver in case he freaks. My theory is this horse wins freakish or that he runs out and my major bet will be to beat him. This is the highest big number Derby ever and theres others that have more reliable figs in my estimation. Though I do believe Bellamy is a good horse. He's gonna have a heart attack when he sees what Derby Day brung him though....lol
