I made a boo-boo, I had thought that the DE Oaks card was drawn today, but it's tomarrow. So here is a bonus race for the previews. This will be Saturday at Colonial Downs, at a mile and a quarter on the turf for three year olds it's the Virgina Derby! Among it's winners, G1 winners Kitten's Joy, English Channel, Red Giant and last year's winner Gio Ponti.
Here is the field:
1) Affirmatif (Chris DeCarlo, 117)
2) Florentino (Alan Garcia, 121)
3) Take the Points (Edgar Prado, 117)
4) Nicanor (Jose Lezcano, 117)
5) Safety Valve (E. Camacho, 117)
6) Straight Story (Chuck Lopez, 117)
7) Hold Me Back (Kent Desormeaux, 117)
8) El Crespo (Julien Leparoux, 121)
9) Battle of Hastings (Tyler Baze, 121)
10) Lime Rickey (Cornelio Velasquez, 117)
Battle of Hastings on paper should take this, however keep an eye on Nicanor. If he wins the race, he has an outside chance for 3yo male. I would love to see Take the Points win, but I think the distance may not be the best for him. I'm going to go with Nicanor, but I think Battle of Hastings has too much experience.
But then again, that's why you run the race.
