Sorry for the delay! Here are the rest of them.
#2 matchups
Imperial Council vs. Pioneerof the Nile
The battle of the Empire Maker colts. Both have excellent trainers, but I give the slight edge to Pioneerof the Nile. This is because he has a graded stakes win and he’s beaten I Want Revenge.
Winner: Pioneerof the Nile by Empire Maker
Dunkirk vs. Win Willy
Dunkirk is royally bred, but Win Willy is by a Derby winner. Also Willy has more experience underneath him which is why he wins this round.
Winner: Win Willy by Monarchos
#3 matchups
Mr. Fantasy vs. Chocolate Candy
Candy Ride + Seattle Slew broodmare= a great chance to take the Roses. Chocolate Candy’s problem is that he has no dirt experience, but his pedigree should allow it. I personally think Mr. Fantasy is just hype.
Winner: Chocolate Candy by Candy Ride
Quality Road vs. Flat Out
This is a tricky one, Flat Out may be the one to beat in the AR Derby and Quality Road is on top of many people’s lists, even though he’ll most likely be a miler. I gotta give it Quality Road just for the fact I think he can beat Dunkirk, and I’m not sure Flat Out can beat Old Fashioned or Papa Clem.
Winner: Quality Road by Elusive Quality
#4 matchups
West Side Bernie vs. Take the Points
After Bernie’s race yesterday, Points takes this easily. Plus of all who are going into the SA Derby, he has a win over a dirt surface.
Winner: Take the Points by Even the Score
Papa Clem vs. Silver City
This match-up is actually going to happen in the AR Derby. I really like both of these horses, but I gotta give it to Papa Clem. It was really tough to choose between these two.
Winner: Papa Clem by Smart Strike
Sorry for the shortness of some of these reviews. I just haven’t had the time to do them thoroughly. Although on Thursday it will be much better. Starting tomarrow, will be the preview for the FL Derby and the Dubai races which feature several American based horses.
Also thanks for everyone who voted in the poll. Because the majority of you voted yes, I think I will be doing it. So what I'm going to do, is ask you the readers, to think of a catchy name for the podcast. I'll then put the suggestions up in a poll and have everyone vote on it. So stay tuned for more details soon.
