Reply #12: A few nice Derby week sites [View All]

[aaronbees]

I really enjoy the woman who runs http://www.turfangels.com and posts a daily report during Derby week. Great photos and some casual aside observations about the crew of horses as they roll into town. Sid, you have to check out the Stormello pic she got for today's roundup.

Of course, at http://tcm.bloodhorse.com/index.asp Haskin's in for his daily dose of musings and intriguing stories (such as his exploration of Sam P.'s name few days back). He's really an observer about Derby week preparations I keep a close eye on - he's very sharp at this time of year. Also, the Morning Line at that Blood Horse site with Evan Hammonds and Claire Novak is fun; he caught a good quote from Larry Jones after Hard Spun's blistering work today.

Also, some of the bloggers at http://www.thoroughbredbloggersalliance.com/feed.html can give a fair bit of analysis and newsy or tomfoolery stuff. One of them did biorhtyhm charts on most of the contenders - according to that blogger, Tiago is coming into a good one. :D
