2 big derby preps are on saturday and sunday...the g3 risen star at fair grounds and the g2 san vicente at santa anita....lets start with the risen star stakes...
the horse that i like the best is pyro....this horse has been the bridesmaid to 2yo champ war pass 3 times....i think this is the perfect derby horse..along with court vision..but back to pyro...he has the highest equibase speed figure in the field with a 115...z fortune has a 100...this horse needs to fire just at the right time in order for him to catch the pacesetters...also a closer is z fortune..the impressive winner of the lecomte stakes..a race in which hard spun won last year...these are 2 steve asmussen horses that are the stars of his stable...three other horses that have a shot at winning or hitting the board are blackberry road, check it twice, and visionaire...my trifecta for this race would be 8-2-11..pyro...blackberry road..z fortune
now to the san vicente...
three top horses in this race..massive drama, georgie boy, and the impressive into mischief...winner of the g1 cashcall futurity...massive drama was 3rd in that race...but massive dramas last start in the g3 san rafael was displeasing...3rd....he set a suicidal pace and another good 3yo el gato malo or "the bad cat" ran him down in the stretch...that may have been his bounce race..and he may return victorious in the san vicente on sunday...georgie boy was entered in the sunshine millions dash, but scratched, and was probably a good decision becuase bob black jack ran 20 and 42 ..54..and 106!!!! for 6 furlongs....well...the santa anita course was practically blacktop becuase of the drainage problems...hes impressive..and i like him...now to into mischief..i liek his stablemate crown of thorns who impressivly won the bob lewis last week...i dont know if hell get it done...so my tri would be 2 massive drama...4 into mischeif and 1 georgie boy..
well see how the first round of derby preps go..and good luck to those who are in roadtotheroses.com fantasy game..like me..smarty party stables..so look out..hhehe =]

the name is Sara. im 14 years old, and an avid horse racing fan. i go to the racetrack with my mom all the time, and i hate to brag, but im a pretty good handicapper. =] ive met famous jockeys like Garret Gomez, John Velazquez, Calvin Borel, Robby Albarado, etc. the highlight of my life so far is meeting the Jacksons at Delaware Park. i always write blogs around the Triple Crown and Breeders' Cup. i would love to one day become a jockey, since im only 5'3". if not a jockey, a thoroughbred trainer would be a nice option as a career. anyways, i am a freshman at Archbishop Wood High School, in Warminster, PA. and in case you were wondering, my favorite boxer is indeed Oscar De La Hoya...haha =] if for some reason you would like to contact me about anything, my email address is: fdg81558@aol.com and my AIM screen name is fdg81558
