Behind the Scenes with Dullahan - Kentucky Derby 2012

Once again, another early but GREAT morning on the backside at Churchill Downs. My previous post about only one horse being on the grounds - we can scratch that and now officially say the backside is starting to heat up. This afternoon Bodemeister, Secret Circle and Sabercat will ship to Churchill from Hot Springs.

While I was getting this video of Dullahan I completely missed Daddy Nose Best working out on the track. (rookie mistake) However, the buzz after his work on the track was something to note. I heard several horseman talking about how good he looked and how "he's a solid horse." I'll try and catch a look at him tomorrow morning, along with Bodemeister, Secret Circle, and Sabercat. If the weather holds off, I'll also try to sneak over to Trackside and catch Hansen (without a blue tail)

Here is the video of Dullahan from this morning:
