Kentucky Derby Nominated/hopefuls (Real Life)

Stormy Peak · Post by **Stormy Peak** » 17 years ago

Does any one know where there is a list of 3 year olds nominated for the Derby?

Steve Hasken's usually has a good list going by now, based upon how some horses did as 2year olds and some who have raced a few times this year...

I'm just wondering if there might be some colts (or fillies) that have slipped 'under the radar'...lightly raced ones who have done something this year like in an allowance that ended up winning by a nice margin, or great time.

If you know of any that caught your eye, or know where I can find a list of nominated colts I would appreciate it. I heard that Tiz Wonderful is sidelined and probably won't be running in the Derby....too bad, he was a nice colt.

Thanks,

Stormy

Haskin already has his Derby list out there.

Yeah, I know... I was looking for other sources. Also looking for 3 year old nominated colts that might not have showed up on the radar as 2 year olds...but who have run this year in something and showed some nice potential. : )

I found this list if anyone is interested.

Woo Buffalo Man!

But...I would be completely shocked if Dreaming of Anna showed up on the nom list.

I hopeful for the derby is name is atlantis citizen he blongs to me I was wondering if I could nom him or if it was based on the races that he has won????

I saw Level Red on that list and I misread it at first as Lava Man.... those names are kind of similar... lol of course not possible since Lava is older then that. I also saw Dreaming Of Anna on there wouldn't it be awesome for a filly to win? Who knows after all the Derby is a race that sometimes plays out much more different then anyone expects.

You can nominate any 3 year old colt or filly to the TC for a fee of $600. (or that's what it used to be)

You know, this thread really belongs in the Real Life Racing forum since I think it's confusing a number of us. SIM Triple Crown nominations just opened up today.

I've moved this thread to the real life racing forum, as Ara is right, it really belongs here. If you have questions about SIM horses/nominations, you can post that thread again on the main SIM forum.

Did anyone else notice Holy Roman Emperor was nominated to the TC?

Saw him entered PQ but highly unlikely to run, Tabor and Coolmore already have Scat Daddy and Circular Quay. Having said that i'm told he's not their Number 1 Guineas hope so maybe.
