Frank WakefieldHere in the hills of The Commonwealth of Kentucky, land of beautiful horses and fast women, we're about to have ourselves a horse race. The 134th Kentucky Derby
And this is a link to the horse that I think will win, Colonel John, trained by an Irishman named Eoin Harty, who sports a Yankees cap on this page... http://www.kentuckyderby.com/2008/contenders/colonel-john
Colonel John has been running on that synthetic ground up tire California stuff for most of his life, but he ran on dirt Sunday, cranking out 5 furlongs in 57:80. That's a good time for you slab-heads. A really good time.
So wheel him, or box him, or do something. I think he'll be up there.
The Kentucky Derby is a bit of a strange race. First time these young horses have run this distance. It takes a good horse and a bit of fortune to win, can't win it on luck alone. Colonel John is a good horse.
