See You This Weekend…
Majestic Warrior schooling in the paddock at Saratoga (Jessie Holmes)
I may have to sneak over the office this weekend to play the extremely enticing Saturday Fairgrounds card. In addition to a full card, this weekend is also Pool 2 in the Futures wagers.
The Louisana Derby is the debut for several very promising 3 year olds…
There’s Majestic Warrior (pictured above - Hopeful):
Tale of Ekati (Futurity Stakes):
The field also includes undefeated west coast shipper Yankee Bravo, undefeated Zayat Stables J Be K, and a host of youngins that could be teetering on a breakout race such as Unbridled Vicar (my fav second stringer), Blackberry Road, local My Pal Charlie and the extremely fully loaded combo of LaPenta/Zito’s Stevil.
There’s someone else though… who is it? Hmmm, I know there was someone else.
Ah yes, Pyro:
It looks like there might actually be some pace in this race with J Be K, although his prior two were sprints so we’ll see. Is it just me or is War Pass the only confirmed speed horse of the whole lot?
At any rate, looks like a fun weekend… I better get back to work if I have a hope in hell of handicapping later in the week!

Should be a good one. I’m thinking about picking up Tale of Ekati in the RTR when I can. Good luck.
I think the second round draft is after this weekend for RTTR.
I have Take of Ekati already… I’m interested in picking up Elysium Field, either Cool Coal Man or Fierce Wind and definitely Denis of Cork.
I’m actually thinking of dropping Tale of Ekati if he doesn’t look good this weekend. Elysium Fields is a must-get for me. There’s another named Hey Byrn that my pal Ron Correll is pretty high on.
Of course, somehow in my madness I left Pyro off my RTR stable. It’s obviously time to kick Cowboy Cal, Crown of Thorns, and Into Mischief to the curb.
