Jessica, Thanks for such an interesting in-depth analysis of pedigree. I adored following Hard Spun throughout his career and will be following Two Phil’s in the future. I found your explanation of watching how a horse relaxes during a race fascinating and would like to hear more about the signs to look out for that show this aptitude. Awesome picks for 2023 KD Derby. I’m sad to admit that I thought Mage was too inexperienced and missed your trifecta.

Thank you! I wish I’d taken my own advice when it came time to betting the Derby! lol I’d recommend checking out Kerry Thomas’ work for more on equine body language! He totally changed the way I watch races; I definitely recommend his book, Horse Profiling. He and Pete Denk do a Derby analysis every year, and you can read it for free at https://thtbloodstock.com/big-race-analysis
