In The News: OMG! Kentucky Derby Sadness
Apr. 28th, 2010 06:15 amEskendereya was scratched Sunday with what appears to be a minor leg injury.
I have said this the last few years. The horses today are in bad condition in America. It is time for some Middle Eastern Muscle Horse to take us to cleaners. Eskendereya was the best shot we've had in a very long time for a Triple Crown Win. This is very sad news indeed.
Hopefully, he will recover and be back for the Belmont. But then he's only likely to ruin a bid for the Triple Crown.
Put your money on Lookin At Lucky for this one. I know Sidney's Candy beat him to a froth last time out but that was a fluke. With Eskendereya out, I think Lucky is the horse to beat. Or you can longshot on Odysseus if you like. Early speed could set him up nicely.
