Blazing Saddles Kentucky Derby
Kentucky Saturday May 4th,2019 3:10pm 10F/ 1 1/4m
“The Sun Shines Bright On The Old Kentucky Home…” I’ll cut it off there, because well, if you heard me sing that just now, you also heard the neighbour’s dog howling, and would understand.
Being part of this residency, I really missed out on a fat easy check for 1 of my horses. Here is how I see the field for Saturday’s Big Race!!
#1. ALL THE LIGHTS ON (8-5)
O/T- EMINC11 JOCKEY- O.A. HAACK
INTO MISCHIEF X SPEIGHTSTOWN X DISTORTED HUMOR DAM- FUSIONIST
With 8 starts to his early career, & a 93SP high, I’m sure this will be a solid high point for this prominently bred colt. This colt’s Dam was a G1 winner, and there’s no reason this colt will not follow in her footsteps, let alone the male side of the family. Could be close if the distance doesn’t bother him.
#2. AWESOME SWING (8-5) O/T MTKG1OFFSPRING JOCKEY- T. KELLY AWESOME AGAIN X MINESHAFT X DISTORTED HUMOR DAM- SWINGING BIG SHAFT
Breaking it’s Maiden last out over 9.5F with a 96 SP, this colt looks like he’s finally maturing in to a racing machine. Like #1, his mother is a G1 winner, and also a winner in excess of $5 Million. Kudos to the breeding/training of this fine colt. Could be the favorite in my opinion.
#3. RICH PART OF TOWN (7-5)
O/T MTKTODAY JOCKEY M.J. KELLY
PALACE MALICE X MALIBU MOON X STORM CAT DAM- CULTIVATED
Beautiful 3YO colt with all the breeding of the first 2 in the race, including a stakes winning Dam. SP is consistently rising, telling me this colt has more to show. This whole race could go 3 way dead heat.
#4 HISTORY UNFOLDS (21-1)
Computer horse that has no real shot, except picking up the piece of an unchallenged 4th place. We will be watching this horse hit the finish wire, in 4-6 weeks…lollol
I will make a best guess of this possible 3 way dead heat, and choose #2, simply for the 2 facts, Tommy “Machine Gun” Kelly is getting the ride, and because of the Dam winning in excess of $5Million.
Good luck to my fellow residents, may the best horse win!
