brother derek if he gets a good trip. my heart wants me to put money on point determined, tho. he's a growing 3 yr old that, like his pops point given, hasn't reached his peak yet. still learning the ropes of the whole racing thing and he's improving w/ every start. the thing is brother derek practically jogged under the wire in the santa anita w/ pd coming in second. i seriously don't think any horses can catch him except MAYBE layer ron. my picks: brother derek & lawyer ron battling it out for the win and point determined coming in third.

Barry Bonds doesn't deserve my time or attention, so definitely Barbaro. Besides, that horse probably has more conviction, drive, class and heart than Barry Bonds will ever have...!

Posted: 6/13/2006 3:13:04 PM ET\n \nBarbaro's cast changed; injured leg looks 'excellent'\n \nKentucky Derby (G1) winner Barbaro's cast was changed on Tuesday for the first time since his surgery on May 21 to repair multiple fractures in his right hind leg, suffered during the Preakness Stakes (G1) the previous day. \n \nDean Richardson, chief of surgery at the George D. Widener Hospital for Large Animals at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, replaced the cast with Barbaro under general anesthesia and was pleased with how the colt is healing.\n\n"His leg looks excellent," Richardson said. "The incision has healed well and judging by the radiographs, the graft is opacifying (taking). Callus is forming nicely, and all of the implants (plate and 27 screws) look unchanged." \n\nBarbaro came out of anesthesia in the facility's recovery pool, a process that went very smoothly, according to a press release.\n\nBarbaro remains in intensive care at the hospital.

I hope it's Chris Daughtry, because they havent had a rocker win it yet. But as of last night, the race will be a close one. The final 7 are very talented!

I think either Crespo or shevchencko. They are only 20-1 at the bookies at the minute. That's got to be worth a little bet!!

Jockey Edgar Prado visited Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Barbaro in the colt's stall on Tuesday morning at the New Bolton Center's George D. Widener Hospital in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. \n\nPrado, who returned to riding the day after Barbaro broke down in the Preakness Stakes (G1) on May 20 at Pimlico Race Course, won the Metropolitan Handicap (G1) on Monday aboard Silver Train. Prado said he is still heartbroken, but he expects the visit to go a long way toward making him feel better. \n\n"Seeing him doing better helps a lot," Prado said. "He's not out of the woods but I'm just hoping that he continues to do good. It's going to take a long time before I feel a lot better and am not heartbroken."\n\nPrado said he did not bring anything special for Barbaro.\n\n"Just myself, just to show that I still care and love him," he said. "I think that's more important than anything you can bring. I was very happy. He looked great. He was very bright and strong, and he even wanted to get out of the stall. I'm very happy to see him happy that way."\n\nDean Richardson, D.V.M., the surgeon who operated on Barbaro, said the colt has had "an incredibly good week" since the procedure on May 21.\n\n"He's actually done far better than I would have ever hoped so far," Richardson said, repeating the words "so far" three times for emphasis. "He's perfectly comfortable in his limb, all of his vital signs are normal, [and] his blood work is good. Basically he could not at this moment look any better, in terms of his condition."\n\nImmediately after the surgery, Richardson gave a 50-50 prognosis for Barbaro to survive. He stopped short of issuing a new percentage on Tuesday, but he said "things are definitely better."\n\n"I'd be disingenuous to suggest that they are not better eight days post-op—there's no question that things are a lot better in terms of prognosis," Richardson said. "But it's still a long, long way from being discharged from the hospital."\n\nRichardson said Barbaro appears to be content in his confinement to a 12-by-12-foot stall. \n\n"Depression can only be assessed in certain objective ways: whether or not the horse eats, whether or not it has a bright eye, whether or not it's moving around the stall, whether or not it's interested in his neighbors," Richardson said. "This horse couldn't look a lot better in that regard. He is very active in the stall. When a horse walks by his window he's peaking out there trying to see who it is." \n\nAs of Tuesday morning, the cast on Barbaro's injured right hind leg had not been changed since the surgery. \n\n"Right now this horse is walking so well on his limb, he willingly rests his left hind, he walks around the stall and is very active, so my inclination at this point is to literally go day by day," Richardson said. "There's no absolutely compelling reason to change the cast, so I'm going to make that decision every single day that I look at the horse. … If he continues to look as good as he does, he can wear this cast for several more weeks."—Jeff Lowe

You should keep an eye on "Showing Up," if he runs in the Derby. He and "Barbaro" are both undefeated horses from owners Gretchen and Roy Jackson. If they both compete, it will mark the first time an owner(s) has sent two undefeated horses to the Derby.
