For Dell - Mystik Dan
Copyright concerns.
Shortened excerpt... Mystik Dan is a very capable athlete, he brings to the table a whole bunch of “good” that are desirable characteristics for any racehorse, and he is 100% honest and forthright. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and he only asks that he be buffered where needed, guided when asked, and gently urged when required.

I will summarize this in plain speak. If he gets the lead and/or is forwardly placed early on he wins. If not, he may not win

Fierceness has an interesting psychological growth pattern where his Individual Herd Dynamic has matured at a significantly faster rate than his Group Herd Dynamic.

Love this Derby name analysis every year, Grom! Remember, friends, the year Country House won the Derby, Grommet had the super high five in his final list. Take heed...

More speed on the outside ….. they can’t all be up there - or can they? Who gets the best trip out of all the presser/ stalker types?

I may be uninformed, naive or whatever but to me If they were talking in December about this and got nowhere then it appears a scheme was hatched to circumvent the process by going to a last minute lawsuit since so many times in this country tactics such as these play out favorably. If that is correct then it is possible/probable? BB was part of the think tank that developed the plan - as well as other owners who didn’t transfer their horses to other trainers? Quite possibly this was always the plan since then and they just needed someone to have the requisite performance to make them eligible sans suspension.

I am just an idiot with an iPhone who happens to have access is all. If I couldn’t share a bit of what I see that I thought a few of the fine folks here at Up In Class might like, I might not even consider coming.

Grommet so good to see this annual tradition as it goes back to the old Courier Journal Tracktalk Forum days. However, either I am slipping or you are my friend….. I stated earlier Mystik Dan was guaranteed to be an easy first round toss from your analysis based on the misspelling alone! Here you are going all sentimental on me. you R slipping it's KNOT misspelled

One of my favorite KD week traditions. Thank you! I think I remember your Kentucky Derby Name Analysis correctly predicted ALL of the Top 5 finishers one year.

Typical Irad with his reckless riding. I think another 30 day suspension would be appropriate.

Look forward to this every year. I agree with you that the name Domestic Product is gross but thought Dornoch might make the cut as it is one of the best golf courses in the world and that’s a theme that Coolmore in particular have been keen on. Good luck with yout final 5 as Sierra Leone and Forever Young are in my short list along with Fierceness , Just a Touch and the afore mentioned Dornoch . 🏌🏿♂️
