Hehe I hope you enjoyed the title of this post. But here is your weekend recap. Chocolate Candy won the El Camino Real Derby, he is heading to Santa Anita next for either one more prep or going strait into the SA Derby. Also Stardom Bound is heading to the Santa Anita Oaks link.
The big two Oaks/Derby preps of the weekend where at Oaklawn Park. It started the trail for Smarty Jones, Afleet Alex, Lawyer Ron, Hard Spun and Curlin as well as, last year the late great Eight Belles. The two big horses there this year are the Unbridled's Song colt Old Fashioned and the Medagila d'Oro filly Rachel Alexandra.
Rach was up first in the Martha Washington, and she did not dispoint. I haven't seen a replay yet, but it looked like it was visually impressive. Chart
Old Fashioned countered today in the Southwest, the time was a little bit slower, but they did go faster at the beggining and the track was a bit slower today. Chart
Overall a nice weekend for the both of them and it will be interesting in how they do in their next preps respectivley. I'll have beyers for all the major stakes races (Including those of newly crowned G1 winner Santa Terasita) tomarrow.
One more thing for tonight, John Nerud the Hall of Fame trainer, has bequethed the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame with his collection of awards from horses such as Dr. Fager and Cozzene. You can read more about it here.
