A current horse like the one you describe is Strong Contender.  His is a big strong horse.  He took a while to mature this year as a 3 year old.  He won the Super Derby over Lawyer Ron and Point Determined.  \n\nRumors had him pointed to the Breeders Cup Classic before his connections decided not to race him again this year.\n\nAnyway he's a big horse with a huge stride.\nHis Dosage and CDs are both very low.\n\nHe was bred by Haras Santa Maria de Araras, but I do not know if that is characteristic of their breeding in general.\n\nIn the video, you can see how much bigger he is than Lawyer Ron.  I would have loved to have seen him run in the Classic.

Hala Bek is still in the Epsom Derby.\n\nThere was a forfeit stage this afternoon and he is one of 33 that still stand their ground.

I just love Derby trivia. Ok the first was Regret in 1915, then Genuine Risk in 1980, and finally Winning Colors in 1988. I worked on the farm where Colors is now a broodmare, and just so you know she is one of the hatefullest mares to ever live. This is common opinion by the way. Just an interesting tidbit about her, she was in foal to Unbridled in 2001, the foal would have been the first to have Derby winners as both dam and sire, but unfortunately she aborted due to MRLS and as yet she has not been bred to another of the Derby winners standing stud.

Yes, macarthur, there is a logical reason to bet on certain horses in this race. I threw out several with one quick glance at the pp's. The reason? Because these throw outs will be dang tired when they get to 10 furlongs. And the Belmont Stakes is 12 furlongs.\n\nWho will stop first? High Finance.\n\nWho will make the distance with energy to spare? I see four. Oh So Awesome, Jazil, Steppenwolfer, and Bluegrass Cat. I've been looking forward to seeing Steppenwolfer run in this race, but Oh So Awesome has grabbed my attention. I rate him as just as good as Steppenwolfer, and even though he's a turf runner from overseas he does have one race under his belt on the Belmont track (last race, in the slop, 8 1/2 furlongs, 3rd place, Jockey was Mike Smith, and comment line is "Good finish inside."). His morning line is 20-1, he has Mike Smith (who won the Derby with Giacomo last year), and it's suppose to rain at Belmont tomorrow.\n\nDoesn't Oh So Awesome sound like the best value bet? My predicted order of finish is Oh So Awesome, Steppenwolfer, Bluegrass Cat, and Jazil.

Are you asking about Shirley Muldowney? I believe she retired. We met her and her dog at Thunder Valley in Bristol about 10 years ago. See her web site www.muldowney.com  Also see the movie Heart Like Wheel if you can find it, it's an older, fictionalized version of how she broke into racing....hmmn just looked at her web site and it lists racing appearances for 2006 so I guess she's still at it! Go Girl!  Hey! just saw her being interviewed following a Doug Kalitta victory.....hmmmnn ... kismet?

1999 Charismatic, ch. c.  Robert and Beverly Lewis  Parish Hill Farm and W. S. Farish  D. Wayne Lukas  1:55.3/5.\n\n\n\nCharismatic, who came within two lengths of becoming the 12th Triple Crown winner, has become the latest North American stallion or stallion prospect to be sold to Japanese interests.\n \nThe six-year-old son of Summer Squall will relocate to Japan after being sold to the Japan Racing Association for an undisclosed price in a deal brokered by bloodstock agent Rollin Baugh. Charismatic had stood his first three seasons at William S. Farish's Lane's End near Versailles, Kentucky. \nWinner of the 1999 Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness Stakes (G1), Charismatic retired to Lane's End after suffering career-ending fractures in his left front leg in the Belmont Stakes (G1), in which he finished third, only 1 ½ lengths behind Lemon Drop Kid. Charismatic stood his first three seasons for $35,000.\n\nCharismatic's first crop of yearlings was well received at the summer and fall yearling sales, and 38 have been sold this year for an average of $70,295 and median of $42,000. The group includes a half sister to Point Given, out of the Turkoman mare Turko's Turn, purchased by Eugene Melnyk for $450,000 at the Keeneland September sale. Melnyk also purchased a colt out of the Strike the Gold mare Elusive Gold for $260,000 at the September sale. \n\nBred in Kentucky by Farish and Parrish Hill Farm, Charismatic is out of the Drone mare Bali Babe, who is also the dam of Grade 1 winner Millennium Wind, Grade 2 winner Tossofthecoin, and stakes-placed winners Bahatur and Constant Demand. \n\nCharismatic, who won five of 17 career starts and earned $2,038,064, rose to the top of his generation in one of the more unique scenarios in recent racing history. \n\nAfter winning just one of seven starts as a two-year-old and losing his first two starts at three for owners Bob and Beverly Lewis, Charismatic was entered in a $62,500 claiming race at Santa Anita Park by trainer D. Wayne Lukas. The colt responded with a victory via disqualification. \n\nHe then finished second in an allowance race at Santa Anita, second by a head in the El Camino Real Derby (G3) at Bay Meadows Race Course, and fourth in the Santa Anita Derby (G1) won by General Challenge. \n\nCharismatic jumped unexpectedly into the Triple Crown picture with a sharp victory in Keeneland's Coolmore Lexington Stakes (G2) just 15 days after the Santa Anita Derby, then scored his upset Kentucky Derby win under jockey Chris Antley another 14 days later. \n\nCharismatic proved his Derby was no fluke two weeks later at Pimlico Race Course with a 1 1/2-length win over Derby runner-up Menifee in the Preakness. Although apparently suffering fractures in the latter stages of the Belmont, he crossed the wire in third before Antley pulled him up and cradled his injured leg—a move that many credited with saving the horse's life—until veterinarians could assist him.\n\nCharismatic underwent subsequent successful surgery to repair the injury and bred a full book of 106 mares in 2000. \n\nCharismatic joins dual classic winner War Emblem, champion sprinter Squirtle Squirt, and Grade 1 winner Swept Overboard, who were sold earlier this year, in moving to stand in Japan.—Tom Law.\n\nHowever, in 1993, the Belmont Stakes was won by Julie Krone on board Colonial Affair, on a dark and rainy day in New York. During the race, Prairie Bayou, winner of the Preakness, who went off as one of the top choices, broke his leg and had to be destroyed.

Pinetar is the name of the renowned show horse kept by Cordo Carraher of Oxford, Maryland, USA. On March 25, 2006, Pine Tar broke through his electric fence subjecting himself to previously unforseen danger.\n\nEDIT: additional info:\n\nI guess the only thing else I can offer of help would be to contact some of the horse breeders in Alabama by phone to see if they might have heard of him:\nhttp://www.magicyellow.com/category/Horse_Breeders/Cities.html\n\nAlso try posting your question on horse bulletin boards/forums on the internet.\n\nIf you add more information it would be easier as well. If you know what he used to race in, what places he might have finished, the time and dates, last known trainers, anything else you can think of, etc.

I attended the Rebel and can say without a doubt Lawyer Ron is my pick for the Kentucky Derby. This horse and jockey team are both the best in my book. Oh and I cant leave out the trainer Robert Holtus.

"Tawqeet" will win the Melbourne Cup, and easliy. Its run in the Caulfield Cup where i won was strong and he hit the line hard with what seemed like plenty left in the tank.  I also think the Japanese horse "Pop Rock" will also be there at the end.  Anything from the Hayes stable or Cummings stable would be a good E/W bet.  Tawqeet to win is my call

Good question!!! Thus must be the most unpredictable KY Derby in recent years. Even though last year a couple of Long shots finished in the money, this year there are at least 10 horses that could actually win! I myself like Lawyer Ron possibly boxed in a tri-fecta with Barbaro and Brother Derrick, I might key with Jazil or Point Determined. If the track is favoring speed horses like Sinister Minster, Sharp Humor and SweetNorthernSaint they will also have a chance in finishing in the money. Let's not forget the closers like Jazil, Stepenwolfer, Point Determined and Cause to Believe. Also remember last years Derby where the long shots finished in 3 of the top 4 spots. There's a couple of "sleeper" horses like that in this years derby Showing UP and Keyed Entry. And don't forget the early favorites like A.P. Warrior and Bluegrass Cat who haven't done to much this year but still are great horses. Anyway good luck with what ever you choose and have a great Derby Day!!!

you don't have tickets yet? where are you planning on getting them from? asll the good seats are sold by now, although the race is not a complete sellout yet. i've only been to dover once, i sat between turns one and 2. pretty good seats. the higher up you are the better, so you can see the whole track. bring a little extra money if you're into gambleing, there are slot machines there, right on the grounds. BUT, they are not open sunday morning before the race because of some blue law. they open at 1:00PM if i remember right.

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
