Cliff's Edge Derby Trial GIII $200,000 1 mile
The most competitive race of the day as one time derby hopefuls are either cutting back in distance or stretching out and hoping to collect a big check for a winning effort.
#8 INDIANO, 9/2
My friend in Louisville reports that Florida trainer Marty Wolfson has been in Louisville for the past few days to oversee his entry and Wolfson told him that his horse came out of the Swale in great shape and has never looked better. He expects a real speed battle with no less than 6 horses going out to the front and chasing Travelin Man for as far as they can. Wolfson thinks his horse will sit off the battle up front and have plenty left for the stretch drive as the leaders begin to tire from their early efforts. This horse is the Beast Of Panama and has alot of experience running under the lights.
Clearly, you could make a case for many in this race. #2 Travelin Man has super speed, as does #5 JJ's Lucky Train, and the #3 Machen is the class of the group cutting back in distance, and the Assman ships in his Calif 1st stringer, #6 Dominus off a big win at SA. Shapes up to be the best race of the weekend!
GOOD LUCK!

Lets Get Some.....................agree About Amoss......though I Had The Box...
CORRECTION HERE ...TOO MUCH GOING ON....INVOLVED IN DRAFT...NEEED TO PROOF READ...
RACE 8 DERBY TRAILS....USING THE #6..'DOMINUS' WITH THE 8,5......
LOOKED AHEAD TO R10 ---INWHICH 10,8,7 IS MY PLAYS...10 OF ASSMANS...
Can't speak for Husker, but the #10 looks like a key play for me!
Will make a win wager and key over the 4/5/7 in various exotics.
Good Luck!
My pick, #8 Indiano, for some unknown reason was placed up front and had nothing left for the stretch drive. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I have said before that Garrett Gomez is the most overrated jockey riding today! I know for a fact that he was under directions to take back and come late, like Machen did!
I would like to hear the excuse Gomez gave to Wolfson after the race, but my guess is that Wolfson didn't give a shit what he had to say. Just another example of a jockey who thinks they know more than they do and end up costing the horse a better finish. BTW, I think Gomez attained this false impression of his own abilities via the fools at TVG who are based on the West Coast and for some reason started calling Gomez one of the best riders in america. What a fucking joke!
Going to try to recoup with #10 NEEDADRINK in the 10th.
Good Luck John. I'm not sure Dominus ever saw the winner. I just (barely) got the 5 home in my desperation late pick 3 (Was big on him, light on the 8). I'm HUGE to the 10 here too (light on a few others 1,4,7). And then have the 5,6,9 HEAVY in the last, and light on the Gomez horse just because. Let's get out here.
Yea. If I had seen that it was even close to that I would have backed up my bets with a classy horse like Machen. So brutal for me DC, I was already counting my cash mid-stretch.
ACCEPTED: 78284520389040 [cancel this wager] CD #8 $2.50 Pick-4 2,6,7,WT,5,8,WT,1,4,7,10,WT,5,6,7,9 none $ 240.00 -
Well the $5 dollar pick 3 got me out for the day, but that was about a $15k nose for me.
Same here DC as I have been on Machen in his last two and was back on him tonight but was talking to someone today and they told me Dominus outworked Macleans Music and that is why he opened so short tonight. Brutal nose for me also and I dont' even play a bullshit exacta with these two. I'm still a ROOKIE in this game.
