Shoes. Was just looking at a horse in tomorrow’s 4th. School Dance. Think he has a shot shipping in from California. I looked at the sire and lo and behold it’s Animal Kingdom! I gotta bet it now after reading your story! Steve Steve, I do like School Dance and have him circled.

Thank you Grommet for continuing this analysis. For me, it's not only a Derby tradition, it's always going to make my final five for threads of the year. I also appreciate the shout-out from last year...I don't follow the TC horses as I used to, many(near all) of the KD entrants I've never even heard of! Fierceness I've heard of, fwiw. I don't begin old school handicapping until your name analysis posts and I get some insight from Kerry T. Tomorrow I'll crack open a racing form. On to this year, before I crack open a racing form I have to say I'm all over STRONGHOLD based on your name analysis, my own name analysis, and Kerry's comments.

My mum in Scotland was still betting on the Grand National ( the nearest thing we had to the Kentucky Derby ) until she passed aged 99.
99? God blesser her. 17 more and I'll be seeing her.

This is NOT recent…. The story has been held for months. Wonder why?

Spider, What’s wrong with her works? Buzz is that they were pretty good and she has looked great on the track. Steve

They just built a state of the art paddock for $200 million. Entrance to the paddock club which is sold out is $15,000. They had a crowd of over 60,000 today and will get more than 100,000:on Friday and 150,000 on Saturday . You think this will be gone by 2030 😳

I was very intrigued by a figure I saw. Where’s My Ring earned a 104 Brisnet fig, the highest of any Oaks filly. (FYI ran a 100 last year). I’m a Beyer guy but like to look at other figs. Elk was kind enough to send me Thorographs so I did a little comparison of the 3 figs. These are the contenders with their last race. In Beyer order.
Horse Beyer Brisnet Thoro (lower better)
Leslie’s Rose 95 98 4
Tarifa 95 89 5
Power Squeeze 92 95 6
Thorpedo Anna 91 91 4
Ways and Means 90 94 4
Where’s My Ring 90 104 7
FYI 89 94 4
What it shows is 7 pretty good, evenly matched fillies. Where’s My Ring is fastest on Brisnet but slowest in Beyers and Thorograph. Personally my three choices are
1) Thorpedo Anna - loves the track and is training great
2) Just FYI - Mott has the champ ready but does need to step it up from a bad post
3) Leslie’s Rose - Irad and Pletcher but another one stuck outside
Any of the above 7 have a shot.
Any thoughts on figs.
Good Luck Steve
