The Unbridled's Song curse strikes again! Winslow Homer is off the Triple Crown Trail with a fractured cannonbone. So everybody moves up a spot and the new #10 is: American Lion (Tiznow)- The third member of what is now the WinStar fourheaded monster to land on the top ten list. Unlike the other three (Rule, Super Saver and Drosselmeyer), he has yet to run on a dirt surface. And since American Lion is now #10, I need to replace him on the next time inclusion list: And I'm going to do it with a horse who more then likely will skip the TC trail, but I won't be suprised if he makes his stakes debut in the Fountain of Youth OR the Florida Derby. The horse I'm talking about is Lentenor (Dynaformer). Also out is Laus Deo who had surgery, so Rick Porter for the first time since Hard Spun in 2007 will not be repasented in the Run for the Roses.
However, the next few weeks will be quite exciting as the true contenders start making their first starts of the year (including the horse who I think will be a very good horse this year in the Sam F. Davis or Risen Star). Quality Road goes in the Donn, Blind Luck (#4 on my Derby list, #1 on my Oaks list) goes against a filly who might be a good one in Crisp at SA. All of the Weekend preview stuff will be on Friday.
Meanwhile if you haven't signed up for the WinStar Fanstasy Stable contest and want to, you can find all of the information at WinStar's Fantasy Page. If you type in thoroughbredchat at yahoo dot com (did it this way to avoid spam), in the referral box, then I think I get money to help my stable earnings. You have until Feb. 13 at noon to sign up if you want to make changes.
