Kentucjy Derby 2017

[tootie223]

I thought Bob LaPenta was going to have a top favorite for the 2017 Kentucky Derby when I saw Irish War Cry win the Wood Memorial. The horse was wearing the maroon and gold. However, I did some research and while it did wear maroon and gold, it was not LaPenta's silks.

As it turns out, LaPenta should have a horse in the Derby. Tapwrit is 12th on the points leaderboard for the Derby. LaPenta is part of a group that owns him because I am not sure that Tapwrit runs in LaPenta's maroon and gold silks.

Never liked large field races...To much can happen during the race destroying even the best horse chance....

That being said...Like a horse that has enough speed to avoid trouble and have enough left over for the stretch run...

HENCE......
