yes i'm posting on noble causeway. the insane asylum awaits.......

i bet zito's NC in the derby and got buried. i bet zito's sun king in the preakness and got buried. i concluded that zito just got too confident with his horses prior to the derby, and didn't have them ready. it was too late by preakness time, but i have been hoping they would come back running in the summer. SK ran pretty well last week, and i'm hoping NC returns to his old form today. i liked the pattern heading into the derby, and i expected a jump to the "0" lvl. things obviously went bad, but i will hope for a run in that range today with bailey up. the favorite, flower alley, is obviously very tough, and velazquez should get the perfect trip from post 2. his last race was awful fast though, and i don't think he can improve on that, might regress a bit. NC gets six lbs from from FA, and i will take a shot at 3-1 or so. BUT THIS IS THE LAST TIME!!!
