DERBY NACIONAL 2007 - TOMCITO (Benjamín Cacha Padilla)

[rfj9118]

Esta carrera me hizo acordar a la gran batuka, que en la Polla de Potrancas (sino me equivoco) ganó de igual forma...de atropellada quedando 4to, luego 3ro, despues 2do, para finalmente quedar 1ro y sacar 2 o3 cuerpos de ventaja.

done esta este potrillo, que corrio tan bien en el Derby de la Florida?

[LordxErick]

After the Coolmore Lexington Stakes he ran in last Saturday.... did Tomcito qualify for the Kentucky Derby? If he did, he's going to have better luck than in his 2 races in the states.... he clearly needs more distance to have a good performance!

Same sire as Street Sense, third in the Florida Derby, very strong dam lines, make this one a contender. This race was typical of ganging up on a heavy favorite, and his win was very visually impressive.

I see this one laying far back off the pace in Kentucky and getting up for a minor award. Smooth Air looked clearly superior to him last time out, and Big Brown was of course just spectacular.

I wouldn't toss this one, and the prep was excellent. Much better than I had predicted.

I want for everyone to check the video and pay close attention to elbows being thrown by Victor Fernandez (jockey) and Benjamin Padilla (the rider of Tomcito)with 3 1/2 furlongs left. Tomcito was boxed in until they reached the stretch. With 1 1/2 furlongs left Tomcito is FREE and darts to the front. If Tomcito makes it to the Belmont Stakes, Big Brown will have a formidable opponent.

Don't forget that Peru has easily the finest jockeys in the world per capita.

Great point! Good eye!

wow this race is really impressive, first of all horses that are fresh get the jump on him in the stretch and he still mowes them down. Second which is weird in a racehores he likes to go to the left in the stretch as if to "rub it in" the other horses he is passing. Kinda like mohammed Ali he talked the smack and backed it up. I have watched him do this in all his races and he wants the other hores to watch him run by them.. Maybe this will end up being the cockiets horse of all time

[jockeyclubdelperu]

datzill7 must have been the same one that thought Invasor was another flash in the pants. How much money did datzill7 lose when Bernardini got buried by INVASOR? Invasor was eased with 50 yds. left in the race.

Comparing the 1990 Puerto Rican champion to Tomcito who was running against horses that were 6 months older is just dumb.

Hey unclesnoopy, the Kentucky Derby is quite a challenging race for any of the participants, just to make it to the gate is a great accomplishment.

[hukeeaboo]

wow appreciate your comment with your knowledge have you worked with tomcito.. Big Brown is starting to look like barbaro so the third place in the floriday derby was ok

[datzill7]

Does anyone remember Mr. Frisky? 16 wins in a row including two preps at Santa Anita, was trounced in Louisville. If this horse came here raced in the Florida Derby and won in Kentucky, it would be the most amazing story since Secretariat won the Belmont by 31 lengths.

[samsam29]

I also remember Cañonero II (Venezuela) and Bold Forbes (Puerto Rico), both of which won two legs of the Triple Crown. No, the story wouldn't be that amazing.

Mister Frisky, by the way, had a throat tumor by the KY Derby that almost end up killing him.

[hukeeaboo]

he really was not troucned he came in third which means you win evertime outside the usa... i remember him he was running in panama when i was down there he was out of friky rascal if i remember correctly

[skarican]

Mr. Frisky was never run in Panama. He was out of Frisky Flyer.

[unclesnoopy]

This horse will have to be the reincarnation of Pegasus to win the Kentucky Derby. He hasn't raced since November, and as it stands he would have just one prep race before the Derby. Look elsewhere.

[reverberate79]

he can win the crown if he can beat our best 3yr olds but he is the only one with a win at a 1 1/2and a 1 1/4.i think if he gets in hell have a great shot.

[steel966]

El no gane a Los Alamitos.

[banchm1]

shit...only if you could tell where tomcito broke from.....he flew from the clouds!!

[peruvianosound]

vamos Tomcito viejo!!

[MNslappy]

wow, that's pretty impressive
