Pedigree Query

Entries draw early for Saturday's LA Derby at the Fairgrounds...so the LA Derby is the first of two 100-40-20-10 derby point races to be run. The Florida Derby, being the other, will be drawn Wednesday. Asmussen used this race last year as a final prep for Gun Runner and Geroux into the Kentucky Derby....he tries again this time with Local Hero (and Geroux:>). Here are the entries and the pp's. TJ

I've decided to give Guest Suite another go. Last race wasn't horrible, and it certainly wasn't wonderful. He worked really well the other day, so I think he's coming into this sharp.
