Kentucky Derby Fever Starts This Weekend
Horse Racing Update: Quality Road Dominates the Donn Handicap, the Apple Blossom Makes a Play for Both Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta and Kentucky Derby Fever Starts in Earnest This Week
Trainer Todd Pletcher had to scratch Quality Road out of the Breeders’ Cup Classic last November because the horse refused to enter into the starting gate. Oh, what could have been!
Quality Road showed that he might be the best racehorse on the planet this past Saturday when he obliterated a field of 8 other older horses in the Grade I Donn Handicap. The victory, by 12 ¾ lengths, was absolutely breathtaking. Stalking Past The Point through a 46.02 half mile and 1:09.87 mile, Quality Road simply took over the lead and accelerated in the lane. He ran the final split in 12.71 seconds and finished up the 1 1/18th mile Donn in 1:47.49.
The Todd Pletcher trainee broke the track record. He didn’t pay his backers all that much, $2.80 to win, but he was so scintillating in the victory that I have to say that he’s easily one of the Top 5 best horses in the world right now. He might be the best if you believe in Beyer Figures. Road busted a 121 in the Donn Handicap. That’s the highest Beyer Figure recorded since 2005.
Apple Blossom Dangles 5 Million Carrot
Two horses that no doubt could challenge Quality Road in the near future, Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta, could be headed for a showdown very, very soon.
Oaklawn Park’s president, Charles J.

The New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl on Sunday and you would think that a lot of sports gamblers, and Saints’ fans, would be suffering a post-Super Bowl hangover this morning.
Who knows? They probably are, but that doesn’t mean that the Fairgrounds Racetrack in New Orleans isn’t going to be bumping with terrific racing action on Monday! It will be.

Drew Brees Avoids The Monkey With Super Bowl Victory
Heading in to the Super Bowl, I highly criticized the betting line of -4.5 for the Colts preaching that it was far too low for a team as strong as the Colts. I ignored all the hoopla surrounding the eventual Super Bowl XLIV champion Saints, refusing to tag them personally as a “team of destiny”.
The hardship of the city of New Orleans and the tremendous season of the Saints was lost to the wayside of what the Colts did in the 2009 NFL betting season and the deafening legacy of Peyton Manning.

Early Birds May Catch Big Kentucky Derby Payoff
The first of three Kentucky Derby future wager pools opens Friday and runs through Sunday for the 136th renewal of America’s Race on the first Saturday in May.
The pools were shortened a day to three because little betting was conducted on Thursdays. Exacta wagering introduced with last year’s second pool will be available in all three along with the standard win bet.
The future wager covers 23 individual 3-year-olds, with some pretty good odds, and a 24th betting interest that includes other runners.

Who will be a the hero or the villian for the Colts Super Bowl 44
Every Super Bowl has a story to tell. A story of heros and villains. Players that won the game for their team in the waning moments and players that fumbled away greatness.
Super Bowl Prop lines have Reggie Wayne and Gary Brackets as favorites from the Colts side behind Peyton Manning to win the MVP, but have you ask yourself who can be that unexpected hero in this game like Dominic Rhodes in 2006 or the hated villain like Kerry Collins on 2000?
