Their names are (click here) Itsmyluckyday, Shanghai Bobby and Orb and racing publications have been calling them “the Big Three” in the build-up to Saturday’s $1 million Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park....
He earns his feedbag just fine.
He had plenty of run in him, too.
He ran his own race. He stayed in the track where he was comfortable and didn't run the sprinters race the leader set. He didn't run himself out, either. He took the outside and without missing a beat. He was going to win and all he needed was a straight away. He ran a great race.
He has been undefeated now since Florida.
The Kentucky Derby is important. It is the first star in the Triple Crown. It makes an impression on fans. It is a very important race. It was a great day.
He is not a flash in the pan thoroughbred. He has been running in all the right stake races with consistency and winning. He is reliable. He isn't delicate.
