Each year, Thoroughbred racing stages the own chronicle of Mar Madness, with the big-purse culmination in a $10-million Dubai World Cup going off right pound in a middle of a heaviest and many meaningful March-April Kentucky Derby preps for a incoming category of Triple-Crown-hopeful three-year-olds.  Today's tough fought World Cup should be staid at a Meydan by about 1 p.m. Eastern, or a meagre six hours from post time for Gulfstream's large prep, a Florida Derby.  It's a heady day, with some-more to come as we hurl on by the Wood Memorial and a Class of 2018 starts to conclude itself for Churchill Downs.

Accordingly, we're job again on the Bluegrass Wise Man to assistance guide us and the wallets by the obstruction of both featured races.  It's maybe informative for a handicapper to know what this takes.  For a big competition in Dubai, a Wise Man will be regulating his veteran's clarity of where tested Thoroughbreds are headed, and what they're expected to do.  For a youngsters' run down in Hallandale, he'll be regulating another kind of equine sense, namely, a ability to discern a qualities that can assistance create a good competition horse, and in that of a athletes being fielded in Florida this afternoon in these qualities are on show.

Without serve ado, a Saturday contingency on both races.

The World Cup favorites, West Coast, Gunnevera, and including a star filly Forever Unbridled, are all athletes vital toward a ends of their lane careers.  If she creates it, and successfully goes into feverishness after whatever she does in today's race, afterwards Forever Unbridled could, theoretically, multiply this year.  It's generally heartening, then, during this time, to have such a roiling rugby scrum of gifted adolescents entrance up after in a Florida Derby and a other Kentucky Derby preps after West Coast's era eases into timber or retirement.  Whatever else they competence be, a Class of 2018 is going to be fun.

That noted, herewith, a Bluegrass Wise Man.

So, before we pierce on to Florida, let's prognosticate this $10-million-dollar two-furlong World Cup run to a first turn, if we will.

Bluegrass Wise Man ™: A lot can occur in a quarter-mile, though basically, it's a right poignant sprint. Is it a speed-biased rail? Not sure, since some of these horses are so immature you can't say. Let's only take a three on a inside. We don't design much from Awardee, on a rail, nonetheless he can always event and disaster somebody up, though Kadyrov's North America, who seems to matter a small to a money, is violation from a two and had improved be out there dancing flattering fast, or else, take behind and afterwards bring a run.  Neither of that we're certain he can do.  Gunnevera, in a three-hole, is not famous as a speed horse, though he's tough and he's had copiousness of mud thrown in his face. Two furlongs is about composure. Composure if we run for it, restraint if we take back, no matter where you're violation from. Who's got it.

Which brings us to West Coast.

Bluegrass Wise Man ™: This is about a shape of a race. First, gates are only a small bit tighter during the Meydan than in a States, so infrequently that can weird 'em out. Not that that will occur to West Coast, who we am certain has been well-schooled. we can see him wanting to get adult front fast, like he did in a Travers, though he's got to wade by or around 8 other horses to get there in a first 4 hundred yards. It's not about can he do it. He can. But does he wish to, or should he, do it today.  Bob says he's genuine happy with a nine-hole, that to me says, they're not looking for a wire-to-wire performance. They only want purify break, a plain trip, and a win.

Go for us on North America.  Mr. Kadyrov is a critical man, though is he a critical horseman?

Bluegrass Wise Man ™: I'm certain he's serious.  The equine is a bit of a mystery, by that I mean, his partially low odds. He wasn't doing anything, on a turf or anywhere else, until they brought him down to Dubai to run on a dirt, where he has been given 2016, so we suppose we could call him a internal boy. He pennyless his lass in Dubai, and he's been flattering fair there. Won 4 in a quarrel last year, a question there would be, opposite whom. He answered that with his run in a Godolphin mile, where he was tenth beaten by thirteen lengths. Basically, when a all-stars showed up, North America got smoked.  we expect he'll get smoked this afternoon.

Dirt is one good reason to move a equine down to Dubai, though behind that can also be some meditative about prepping for a Derby.

Bluegrass Wise Man ™: Can be, though it's humorous when we think that a today's purse in Dubai is 5 times a $2-million sum Derby purse. Look, a Meydan puts reduction pressure on a horses and their connectors than a dirt marks in a States. It's a place with a winter assembly where we can hole adult and run your horse. A good thing. Taking zero away from a race or a competition during the Meydan today, though the ambient foe on mud in a States is a big game. It's a majors. I'm not only talking Triple Crown here, I'm articulate everywhere from Los Alamitos to Louisiana Downs to a Florida Derby during Gulfstream after this afternoon. Everybody in Europe and a Middle East knows that. Some of a European trainers move their horses down to Dubai to see if they can be brought adult to tinge for a dirt in a States. The World Cup's purse kind of reverses that commute, and we get a American stars, some of them Derby winners or Derby vets, entrance over to get during it. In that way, it unequivocally becomes propagandize for a Europeans who are maybe meditative to move their horses over for any large dirt races like a Breeders.'

Speaking of Gulfstream, and a hard impetus to a Triple Crown, let's have a go during the pleasant Florida Derby after this afternoon.

Bluegrass Wise Man ™: I'm going to have four of them today. I'll put Hofburg in there, only because we hear they consider a lot of him and he's from Tapit, who is a man in a States. I'll also go with Audible, and Mississippi, and Catholic Boy. I'm not so prohibited on Promises Fulfilled, though we'll see as a day wears on. Audible, Catholic Boy and Promises Fulfilled will still be a top three, though it's early yet.

Meaning?

Bluegrass Wise Man ™: Meaning they need a preps and a points to get to a Derby, though they're only becoming themselves. It this approach it can be good fun during a preps for players to gamble all over a place. A lot can occur to any and each one of these horses between now and May.
