With the top 3yos entered in the Derby or waiting for the Preakness, and some lesser opting for the Pat Day Mile, we hoped to catch a good spot in the nw1ot yesterday. Like Bo's maiden win, the runners yesterday maybe looked better on paper than they actually were. Seems to me that the runners in his initial maiden start @ 6f might have been the best group that he has faced so far.
Time will tell....

Looks like the Iowa Derby next week $250k 1 1/16 Looking at the PPs now. None of the heavyheads showed up, so you may well be the m/l favorite, certainly close to it. Raise Cain is in there, but he's a plodder that has no turn of foot. Two to fear look to be the Brad Cox runner, Eyeing Clover, but he looks like he wants a mile and no more; and the Saffie horse West Coast Cowboy, which drew wide in PP12 and has never raced away from GP. Good spot for good money. Cooler weather forecast, hi 75-80, just a chance of showers. www.equibase.com/static/entry/RaceCardIndexPRM070823USA-EQB.htmlTW

Thanx for the thoughts I doubt that I will make the trip That is the thinking—- try to grab good purses with the least competition. We assume that we might be favored, so probably no great value in wagering. + I don’t like much about night racing—Derby should go off 10:38pm est. ? Looks like too much front end for me to be comfortable unless Bo can get outside and relax early, which hasn’t been his mindset so far. No clue how the track plays….. We shall see……

Was the Indiana Derby ever under consideration? Same day for more money and cheaper fees.

Would have worked for me, hooper.... Dont want to fly to Iowa for night racing.
I think the Indy race will be much more competitive. Verifying will be there--not sure who else. If Stall wants to pass and go to Iowa, I believe in him--a very nice sensible person. I don't like all of the front end pace in the Iowa race, considering how Bo likes to run them into the ground. I could see Raise Cain picking up pieces late--I think he is underrated.
Hoping to get our 3yo filly in to the mix eventually---Daisy Jones--a Bucchero turfer.

Get him home, keep close eye out for the next week. Hope nothing turns up. Sometimes they just don't fire. More wins coming.

He was up against everything last night. Night racing after traveling , on a different track with a horse as fast out of the gate as him with position, against his go to the lead type style. I'd chalk this up as one to forgive. Hopefully he comes out of the race well (saw some bumping when tiring on the turn into the stretch and the jock easing up down the stretch not to over tax him.) Rest,regroup and evaluate from here I'd think would be the plan. Disappointing I'm sure, but if everything checks out (physically) not so bad. A lot of races ahead(and hopefully nearer to home and at better venues )

FINALLY heard the results on Bo after his return from Iowa and examination.
A cracked pelvis, probably occurred prior to or during the running of the Matt Winn. Not a serious fracture, but maybe irritated when he was jostled around at the head of the stretch in Iowa. Two months rest to heal, though I am in favor of maybe longer if it is possible to return to his potential.
So it goes.....

Sorry about that but it explains the disappointing Iowa Derby run
. Hopefully he comes back strong after a nice period of recuperation.
