Anyone want to trash talk go ahead 
A couple of notes...
The first couple of runnings of the Bargain Derby had 20 runners but the 2008 version say a drastic drop to 6 runners. This years 11 runners makes it appear as though three year olds are on the rise this year.
The Oaks has had some bigger fields but the 11 runners this year is the same as last year.
The Silenus Mile debuted last year with 6 runners. I was shocked at the entries this year. We had an overflowing entry box this year with a full field of 14 runners on tap. For those that had entries that did not make the field contact me I will see about bidding a race for your runner.
Onto talk of this week with my entries...
I can tell you I have two entries in the Bargain Derby and they probably represent my best chance at the Bargain Derby.
I entered a maiden which I usually would not do but the maiden has posted some solid speed figures in MSW company. A little improvement and this three year old Repent colt could be a player in the BBRS.
I did not have an entry in the Oaks, this year. Bad year for three year old fillies in my barns anyway.
I have an entry in the Mile but man has the competition picked up in this division. Maybe I can make some hay on the front end with Germania Allez like I did at the Bargain Bowl. Pricey Magpie is getting better with age and will be very tough to handle but history has shown that good form against open competition does not always translate well against fellow bargain breds.
