Quality Road out? Weekend preview

It may very well happen as he open a new quarter crack, link. If this happens, I think Take the Points will be in, my guess is Johnny V will then jump to him. Which means Flat Out will be the odd man out.

One race to preview this weekend and no it's niether of the Preakness preps.

Opening day at Delaware Park! Go Go Shoot won a stakes race here last year, and has new owners and trainer this time around. Rollers finished second in the Mr. Prospector down at Gulfstream earlier this year and Secretintelligence did well this winter at Oaklawn. Look out for Malibu Kid, Clinton Potts is returning to Delaware after a few years in Cali, look for him, Jeremy Rose, Rosie Napravnik and Joe Rocco Jr. to battle it out for top jockey now that Ramon Domingez has moved to New York full time. If Jeremy wins the title, it will be sweet redemption for him as he was handed a six month suspention last year and missed basically the rest of the meet.

Top three:
Rollers
Go Go Shoot
Secretintelligence

We are eight days away from the Derby!

  2. I heard from a source that Miguel Mena is moving here, but then again this source has been wrong before.
