I like Jazil. He made a great move in the Wood to finish second on an off track and then in the Derby he came from way back and was still gaining when he placed fourth. I say, given the extra track he should finish strongly and in front.

The maximum number of horses that can be entered in the Kentucky Derby, by rule, is 20, although that number is rarely met, either due to just fewer entries or by late scratches. Looking at recent history, expect about 17 horses to enter the gate.\nAnd if you're interested, the early favorite this year is StevieWonderBoy.

Tim Worrell is the most likely candidate especially if it's a short term injury.  He has some experience closing and is much more effective pitcher than Walker.  Long term if Benitez is out AAA prospect Merkin Valdez is somebody to watch.

From the Middleham Park Racing News...\n\nMullady Penelope continued on the upgrade by taking the 5f handicap at Brighton on Sunday. Seb Sanders took the ride and never looked in any danger as Mullady scored by a comfortable 1 1/2 lengths. Punters took the hint that this was Ann's first ever runner at Brighton and Mullady wasn't making a 600 mile round trip for nothing!! She was our 13th winner of a successful year so far

A. P. Warrior\n\n\nJockey Corey Nakatani was only riding A. P. Warrior for the second time in the Santa Anita Derby (G1), but it's obvious he has a lot of faith in the horse. \n"I thought he ran a really good race," Nakatani said after the Santa Anita Derby, "but I think he is better than that. The track today, for some reason, was very heavy, and I think these horses are going to get a lot out of this race because they went up against Brother Derek. What more can you say? He ran a great race, that horse. I thought we had a real good chance of beating him today, but going to the far turn, he kind of hopped and did something funky. I just don't think he particularly liked how heavy the track was." \n\nNakatani's belief in the horse came well before he rode him in a race. When owner Stan Fulton decided to move the colt from the barn of Eoin Harty to John Shirreffs prior to a winning effort in the San Felipe Stakes (G2), Nakatani was on the phone. \n\n"I had been on him in the morning, and he worked unbelievable for me," Nakatani explained. "He showed me then that he was a better horse than what he had been doing in the afternoon. I've been trying to get on him a long time, ever since I realized that Patrick Valenzuela wasn't going to ride him back last fall. I gave the connections a phone call and tried to get on him at that point, but they went through their channels. I finally was able to get on him when John Shirreffs got him, and, like I said, he worked unbelievable for me."\n\n\n \nBenoit & Associates Photo \n \nPedigree\nDark bay or brown colt by A.P. Indy—Warrior Queen, by Quiet American\n\nFoaled\nFebruary 20, 2003\n\nPurchase Information\nConsigned to September 2004 Keeneland yearling sale by Eaton Sales, agent. Purchased by Fleetwood/NW Management for $1.3-million.\n\nNotes\nFirst start was on July 17 when he won a 5 1/2-furlong MSW at Hollywood Park. To date his maximum winning distance is 1 1/16 miles. \n\nA. P. Warrior had been something of a challenge for his previous trainer, Eoin Harty. He was a nervous two-year-old who could be unruly in the post parade. He had to be scratched from the Best Pal Stakes (G2) on August 14 at Del Mar after unseating jockey Garrett Gomez and running off. Harty felt the turning point came in an allowance race on November 4 at Oak Tree at Santa Anita Park, which A. P. Warrior won by four lengths. "The first thing you teach a horse is how to break well from the gate," Harty said, "so it's hard to get two-year-olds to back off. But last time, he was able to turn it off and then turn it back on. I was confident that once he got behind a horse he'd learn to relax, and it was nice to see him do it. \n\n"I can't predict he'll go a mile-and-a-quarter," Harty added. "But the way he moves is indicative of a horse who can get a distance of ground."\n\nIn Quotation Marks\nTrainer John Shirreffs, after A. P. Warrior won the San Felipe in his first start for Shirreffs: \n\n"He's a classy horse. He is a very, very classy horse. We just didn't want to interfere with him [when asked about race strategy], just let him run his race."

No. He was not nominated. He still could be at a high cost, but he was not a normal triple crown nominee.

Declarations are not in yet for this meeting, but will be later this afternoon - check out www.racingpost.co.uk and click Cards on the left hand side of the page, then select the date you want and finally the course.\n\nAs a rough guide when picking out horses it is always a good idea to look at them in the paddock before the race.  Check to see if they look well (shiny coat, bright eyes, not looking overweight) and how they are reacting to the surroundings.  As a rule of thumb a horse that misbehaves before a race will not run well as they are not concentrating on their job.\n\nFinally pick up a Racing Post tomorrow morning and read through the form guides before you get to the meeting.\n\nHappy racing!

I am pulling for Floyd Landis.  He is having an excellent season having the Tour of Cali and Georgia in his win column.  Those two races came early enough in the season for him to be ready for the TdF.  He is an excellent TT and can climb hills.  Those two skills make you a contender in the TdF.

Heskey!? You must be blind! Shouldn't be playing in the bloody premiership (and isn't haha), let alone for england - strikers will be Owen (despite crappy newcastle medical team), Rooney (hopefully will be fit for later stages although chances are, not group stage), Defoe (can be alright... sometimes), Crouch (god nooo!! but sven's choice) and Darren Bent. Maybe. Won't be Heskey, James Beattie or Darius "can only score against villa" Vassell. I think we still have a chance, I mean, you can't completely write us off... but Rooney's injury and the complete shambles that is the FA's handling of the next manager have provided great obstacles.

While I try to attend Rolex every year, I would much rather go to the Derby anyday. Rolex is fun but Derby Day is 10x more so.

I would pay to watch that! More exciting than some of the premiership matches these days;) Southgate may be a dark horse, he looks like a Ball kicker (probably a biter too!)
