Thus far, it has been hard to fine a true 1 1/4 horse.

We'll see how they run in the Arkansas Derby.<br /><br />Currently, Howe Great and Dullahan are at the top of my list from this group of 3-year-olds and will remain there until I see how the others fare at 9-furlongs.<br /><br />Others that I like and will be watching for are Creative Cause, Bodemeister, Castaway, I’ll Have Another, Gemologist, El Padrino, Mark Valeski, Union Rags, Alpha and Prospective.<br /><br />In my 2012 Kentucky Derby Outlook, I profiled Howe Great, Creative Cause and Sabercat and those remain on the trail while Sky Kingdom, Algorithms and Consortium are off the trail with injuries. Discreet Dancer, Empire Way and Brother Francis did not live up to expectations and Battle Force was not nominated.Calvin Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135059434890408890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923306023768834171.post-81361996129062370972012-03-18T21:45:12.348-04:002012-03-18T21:45:12.348-04:00Hi Calvin, not happy with the 92 Beyer.

Loses beyers from all races, with the added distance. Suspect in ARK.Barry Reed Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903316583409905690noreply@blogger.com
