Dick Powell evaluates Derby Future Wager prospects:
I am throwing out any horse that races or trains at Santa Anita. The newly installed dirt surface there is still too hard and already you are seeing problems. By the time the Santa Anita Derby (G1) is run on April 9, the horses stabled there are going to be pretty banged up by the constant pounding.
Hate to think what that might mean for my #2, Jaycito.
this is why I don’t believe everything I read….they have been training at hollywood with the rubber track.besides” the factor” everyone else looks to bein good shape.I guess if uncle mo goes a 105 beyer at the timely everyone will say they burning him out.every dirt track is hell for the horses whether it’s santa anita or aqueduct.
