It looked like Noble's Promise might turn the tables on Lookin At Lucky but in the final analysis, Lucky showed why he is a multiple G1 stakes winning champion.Calvin Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135059434890408890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923306023768834171.post-47152528715009022682010-03-14T04:41:51.320-04:002010-03-14T04:41:51.320-04:00Noble's Promise and Lookin At Lucky trainers w...Noble's Promise and Lookin At Lucky trainers were all lying about the condition of their colts. The match up is starting to remind me of Affirmed and Alydar. Three races and all within 1/2 at the wire. WOW! They are 1-2 in my book. Three different surfaces and the same outcome.<br /><br />Sydney just kept right on running up front. I pick thew wrong Sadler horse. The Cal Bred ran good, but I just could not see the colt winning again, and remain undefeated into the Santa Anita Derby.Barry Reed Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903316583409905690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923306023768834171.post-34397740626115907762010-03-13T13:30:23.175-05:002010-03-13T13:30:23.175-05:00Barry,
I agree with you about Noble's Promise...Barry,<br /><br />I agree with you about Noble's Promise. I think he has a good shot to win the Rebel.<br /><br />In regard to the San Felipe, I'll defer to you. That is your turf and you know it a lot better than I do.Calvin Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135059434890408890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923306023768834171.post-72154891306483360312010-03-13T11:28:48.565-05:002010-03-13T11:28:48.565-05:00Hi Calvin, I hear Baffert, then again, I don't...Hi Calvin, I hear Baffert, then again, I don't. Baffert always underplay his horses, especially when they are ready to fire. Lookin at Lucky will run his usual race. But, I just think Noble's Promise is simply better at the 1 1/16 distance. The colt move way to early at Breeders Cup and in the Cash Call the colt move way to late. One thing left to do!, move right on time. I believe he gets the win on percentage that Lookin at Lucky will not beat Noble's Promise three straight times.<br /><br />Out west! I'm looking far ahead to the Santa Anita Derby. Each year the Santa Anita Derby has had an open favorite.<br /><br />But this year addition with the departure of so many,<br /><br />Lookin at Lucky heads to Arkansas<br />Make Music for Me heads to Turfway<br />Alphie's Bet heads to Blue Grass<br />The Program heads to Louisiana<br /><br />What is left is a rematch between Dave and Dixie and Caracortado. I never could see a California bred remain undefeated and win the Santa Anita Derby. <br /><br />Reverse finish from their previous race seem logical. Dave on top. Sidney's Candy plays the spoiler for this event, as he was to depart for the Gotham stakes and change tactics, knowing Lookin At Lucky was leaving town. He will set a very fast pace and distance is to far as with Tiz Chrome. Pace makes the race! and Dave will move early to engage for the win.Barry Reed Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903316583409905690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923306023768834171.post-67001481446713149532010-03-13T11:20:53.412-05:002010-03-13T11:20:53.412-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Barry Reed Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903316583409905690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923306023768834171.post-38479494576957816612010-03-13T11:19:12.909-05:002010-03-13T11:19:12.909-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Barry Reed Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903316583409905690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923306023768834171.post-74779862564436932782010-03-13T00:55:56.752-05:002010-03-13T00:55:56.752-05:00Thanks Keith,

I'm looking forward to spending the afternoon with my DRF...I've got Super Saver in Derby Futures Pool 1 so will be hoping for a good outing.<br /><br />Noble's Promise at a price is certainly attractive!Keith McCalmonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165275240740379285noreply@blogger.com
