Ky. Derby Trail 1.04.2009 "The Word"

Old Fashioned (Unbridled's Song), Ramon Dominguez up, wins the Remson S. (G2) at Aqueduct 11.29.2008db ( Horse Racing Photos by EquiSport Photos/Dianne Boothe )

Here's the rundown as I see it, in order. Purely speculative and unscientific. Neither 'Pioneerof the Nile' nor 'Haynesfield' really impressed this time out, so their position is relatively unchanged.
The Lecomte is this weekend, and could bring some new contenders into the mix. Square Eddie runs back in the San Rafael S. Jan 17 at Santa Anita.
I'm starting to get a few pictures on the website... http://www.equisportphotos.com/gallery/6981546_RBDHb

  1. Well, Let me be the first to respond to the blog. I like the listing of derby hopefuls, but my bet is with Beethoven first, Square Eddie then Old Fashioned. Just my 3 cents which is worth NOTHING!! Well it is worth 3 cents. But way to go with your Derby picture of Big Brown being an honorable mention for the Eclipse Awards. My Dad would be proud of you.
