Silent critic will  be in top three

Mike repole always gets snake bitten. On derby

Don’t know what he paid for his small share of horse
But I GURANTEE Pletcher helped other owners to fork up a small to repole

Further ado looked awesome
 I’m pulling for  one of. Riley mott colts to win


Haven’t made up my mind yet on my win bet

But there is no lock

Fav will go off
4/1 or little better

I agree Silent Critic figures.

John Oxley (Monarchos - 2nd fastest behind Seretariat)
Casse ... Checca
