Yes ... you read it right I am going to talk about another horse.:thumbup1:
I just watched the first race of 2009 for Musket Man when he changed leads and blew away General Quarters. Wow. When he changed leads he was gone and his allowance win in Philly was pretty good too.
The question many will ask is can he carry that speed or will his breeding come knocking 200 yards before the wire. Some horses have grit and they just do not want to lose I think MM is that kind of horse. He comes in fit and he will do whatever it takes to beat the horse in front of him.
MM is going to be on my ticket along with Dunkirk. I will make the case for Dunkirk tomorrow. I don't want to give some of you too much to think about ! :laugh:
The horse has NEVER missed hitting the board and I see no reason for him to start on Derby Day.

Agree, I have been on race replays all night long and at the Tampa site watching replays over and over of all the contenders, QR looks the most likely horse to use a key horse in exotics. After breaking down the contenders and I hope Regal Ransom runs as there is enough speed hores to have a honest pace.

I need one more horse but I won't decide that until next week.
I Want Revenge does well when he runs after slow fractions. The last 2 races he looked at a 48 and did well. When he was looking at a 47 he lost. You WILL NOT see a 48 in the Kentucky Derby so for me he is a toss.
Not to mention the fact his trainer just got caught cheating and will be suspended soon. Pick another horse to like there is little to like here.
Picking on soft horses in NY does not make you ready for the Kentucky Derby.
He was looking at a 47 at SA. Talamo and Mullins both stated right after the race that he simply was not taking to the track and he was just spinning his wheels. I'm sure completely missing the break made up for the slow fractions, not to mention he came from DEAD LAST in a race with slow fractiontional times. He would have won by more had the front end speed set up for a closer, instead, the slow/moderate pace said more.
I realize many will argue with that until they are blue in the face but come back here in 12 days and let me know how good your tickets are with IWR on them......
