Take Control enters Kentucky Derby picture

[HorsesForeva95]

He was only 1 year and 9/10 months in this. Meaning that he wouldn't be in the Derby THIS year, it'd be NEXT year, 2011.

for 2 million bucks he better win!

Big move for a first time starter, in behind horses, the colt has alot of poise and a closing kick.

[Bythenose305]

I'm not all that impressed to be honest. His pedigree is something not to mess with but physically not so great. I think he wasn't even the favorite in this race and you would think so, that has to say a lot. Just take a look and search for a horse named "UPTOWNCHARLYBROWN". Broke his maiden at Tampa going 61/2 and won impressively. If this is a contender for the 2010 Kentucky Derby than "Uptowncharlybrown" is my pick!

@Bythenose305 u still have uptowncharlybrown as a derby pick?? he lost the davis. he's more of a sprinter.

[Bythenose305]

@1800s:Second & third place, you'll never remember. But just to refresh your memory, Musket Man lost to the "General" in the Sam F. Davis! What did Musket Man do in the Derby? What did General Quarters do in the Derby? If you were the owner of Uptowncharlybrown will you run the Tampa Bay Derby? or will you throw in the towel because he ran a "lousy to you" 3rd in the Davis?

Beautiful colt by Azeri and A.P Indy. I'll be looking for him in the KY Derby.

[flipflopchick101]

wow that turn of foot on him is wicked

[tennyellen]

He is very handsome. I can picture him winning the Kentucky Derby. Did you see his tail? Its short, but I like how it flows, and he was holding it like an Arabian after won! I was sure he'd loose but that was amazing! 5 stars!

[greyhorseazeri]

Wish I could've been there, but there's always next time. I've seen him a lot in the mornings, anyways.

[newjerseypam]

He "Took Control"

[dustywhipp5]

Gosh he reminds me of Stevie Wonderboy.... Who remains my favorite racehorse of all time.... I'm weird like that. This guy is one to watch for!

[imaliberal]

And he's not even blowing!  WOW

[pavalko2303]

is he under the training of bob baffard? if so i think he has a lot of promising 2 year olds next year may be his best i think at least

[remie2]

Wow Take Control still looks like a yearling. I saw him go through the ring and Rna. He looks the same. I hope they take there time with him. ;/

[Pliokota]

He's a beautiful stamp of a horse, very attractive indeed. And you're right, its not about who he beat, but how he beat them. It was very impressve. I like him a lot, I just need to stop calling him Vallinzeri lol XD
