RACE 2: TAKE IT OFF (#4)
Well, it’s Derby Weekend!
Granted, we’re talking about two disparate locales, neither of which is in Kentucky – New Orleans and Hong Kong.
You think the $1 million Louisiana Derby offers a deep pot of gold, try the $3.09 Hong Kong Derby on for size. Speaking of size, John Size trains my (Hong Kong) Derby horse, Excellent Proposal, who had a slyly fantastic “barrier trial,” what we call a training race, and is set to win the 2,000-meter Hong Kong Derby. I’ll set the alarm for 4:30 a.m. Eastern to catch the race at DRFBets.com and have a wager.

LAURA’S LIGHT
Trainer: Peter Miller
Last race: March 21, race 3
Finish: 4th by 3 1/2
Beyer: 84
Making first start in six months and first vs. older, this stakes-winning filly ran well in turf-mile allowance. Set pace to deep stretch, tired. Useful comeback, likely to improve next out.
