LADY4U EXCELS ON KY DERBY WEEKEND !!!!


Let`s all give a big hand to lady 4u for sweeping all 3 races with BEST ANSWER!!

My top pick Verifying took the lead and held it to the top of the stretch and faded.

When my other 2 picks finished 1st and 2nd i thought i had it all sewed up.

Then i saw verifying had faded to 16th. This dropped my points considerably.

Very excited that Mage won all proceeds go to Cancer. My daughters and I picked him in a separate bet to contribute because of the cause and because my husband died from cancer. Mage was #8 and my husband Birthday is January 8 so nice fit. Very pleased. Expect the unexpected worked out.

Thank you SandyGirl!! I was so happy for Javier C.!! 

by (181,430 points)
+2

Me too, ponygirl. So happy. The press conference after the race with Javier, his children, and all Mage's connections was nice, and quite emotional too. What a great team. Mage means magician and/or wizzard. I was amazed on how great he raced. Lightly raced Mage definitely has talent and proved it in the Derby. : )

by (574,610 points)

Very true, Blue Jay. Nice! : )

by (574,610 points)

I know the feeling, Blue Jay. Angel of Empire started to close a bit too late. I saw him coming and was hoping he'd cross the finish line or at least place. Tapit Trice wanted nothing to do with the Derby, lol. 

My real bet; I keyed Tapit Trice and Angel of Empire with my other picks in a Trifecta. Came up short. But our separate WIN bet for a reason with Mage made it a beautiful day in many ways!

pony- are you referring to the post position? Smarty Jones won coming out of #15

by (420,670 points)

Yes!  My man Smarty Jones! <3 


Practical Move was just scratched and he was my show horse but Two Phil's is my 1st alternate and he is fine so at this point, I won't edit my answer! 

by (181,430 points)

I just read about Practical Move!

Did he have the flu ( fever) ?

Gosh and “sudden deaths” of various horses!

No causes of deaths determined?

by (1,068,990 points)
+2

Trainer Tim Yakteen plans to scratch Practical Move from the May 6 Kentucky Derby (G1) after the Santa Anita Derby (G1) winner showed an elevated temperature May 4 at Churchill Downs.

The decision to scratch him from Saturday's race was done out of precaution.

 

by (420,670 points)

Saffie Joseph suspended !

Lord Miles scratched!

After recent horse deaths!

by (1,068,990 points)
+3

Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. had already planned to scratch several horses entered May 4-6 at Churchill Downs but intended to keep Lord Miles in the Kentucky Derby (G1), but the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission took that decision away from him.

The KHRC announced the afternoon of May 4 that all the trainer's horses would be scratched "effective immediately and until further notice." Shortly after that announcement, Churchill Downs announced that the trainer had been suspended indefinitely from the track.

Whenever anything like this happens a deep investigation is necessary, and it's quite involved I may add. Unfortunate is the timing. The industry keeps me quite busy as it is this time of the year. The role of the commission for all states is to uphold integrity, and to ensure the safety of this amazing athletes. The commission has the capacity to enforce any legal compliance necessary in order to do so.


by (574,610 points)

Now Continuar is being scratched and King Russell is entered. 

by (181,430 points)

Yes, ponygirl, as indicated all of Joe Saffie's horses are scratched due to his ban. Thinking tomorrow his other horse will be too in the Turf Derby. That race is also being Hosted by Blue Jay. We worked for the safety integrity act for over 25 years, it's passed last July, so the commission is doing it's job by investigating. When it comes to this it's a guilty before proven innocent (so to speak) due to our beloved Thoroughbreds. All for the better good. : )

I was just going to update on Forte's scratch. Thank you ponygirl.

Check your post number on your horse change ponygirl. I think you mean the 17 Derma Sotogake

by (574,610 points)

YW SandyGirl!

by (181,430 points)

TY SandyGirl! I did mean 17!! 

by (181,430 points)

Kentucky Derby (G1) favorite Forte has been scratched from the May 6 race at Churchill Downs.The scratch comes after regulatory veterinarian concerns related to a mending foot bruise in his right front leg, according to co-owner Mike Repole.

The Todd Pletcher trainee, last year's champion 2-year-old, had been the favorite at 4-1 odds in early wagering for the classic. With his absence, Angel of Empire and Tapit Trice are likely to vie for post-time favoritism.
