THEY HAVE COMBINED TO WIN OVER 15,000 RACES FOR OVER $700 MILLION IN PURSES. BUT THERE맥스카지노S ONE RACE THAT THEY맥스카지노RE BOTH STILL FIGHTING TO WIN. TWO HALL OF FAMERS TAKE ANOTHER SHOT ON SATURDAY. STEVE ASMUSSEN IS THE ALL TIME WINNINGEST TRAINER IN NORTH AMERICAN HISTORY. ALMOST 11,000 WINS ECLIPSE AWARDS, THE PREAKNESS AND THE BELMONT, BUT NOT THE KENTUCKY DERBY. THE DERBY HAS ELUDED ME, YOU KNOW, AND AS FAR AS WHAT I THINK, I MEAN, I NOT ONLY HAVE I HAD CURLIN AND GUN RUNNER BEAT IN IT WHEN I DIDN맥스카지노T THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE. I YEARS AGO, WHEN EPICENTER GETS BEAT BY A HORSE THAT SCRATCHES IN BECAUSE LUCAS SCRATCHED. I MEAN, MAN, THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CREATE A DERBY WINNER. I MEAN, SURE, WE FALL IN THAT CATEGORY. MAYBE THIS WILL BE THE YEAR THAT WE맥스카지노RE THAT FORTUNATE. MARK CASSE HAS WON ALMOST 4000 RACES. HE맥스카지노S ALSO IN THE HALL OF FAME AND HAS ALSO WON THE PREAKNESS AND THE BELMONT. WHAT I맥스카지노VE LEARNED ABOUT THIS RACE IS YOU BETTER HAVE SOME LUCK, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE TWICE, YOU KNOW, I맥스카지노VE WENT IN AND AND COULD HAVE EASILY WON THE DERBY. CLASSIC EMPIRE GOT WIPED OUT AT THE START AND CAME FROM WAY OUT OF IT AND FINISHED FOURTH. LAURA WILL WAS MOVING TOWARDS THE LEAD WHEN HE GOT TAKEN OUT. BOTH ARE BACK FOR ANOTHER SHOT WITH HORSES. THEY CONSIDER CONTENDERS. CASSIE맥스카지노S SANDMAN IS COMING OFF A FIRST PLACE FINISH IN THE ARKANSAS DERBY. AND SANDMAN IN FRONT BY TWO. PUBLISHER IS SECOND AND SANDMAN. HE맥스카지노S RUN HIS A RACE AND HE GETS A CONFIDENCE BOOSTER. DOES HE HAVE ENOUGH EXPERIENCE? YES. IS HE RUNNING AT HOME? YES. IS HE TRAINING AS GOOD AS YOU CAN SEE? A HORSE TRAINED? YES. WE HAVE ONE OF THE BEST RIDERS IN THE WORLD. YES. SO THE ONLY QUESTION MARK MAYBE IS ME. BUT ASMUSSEN HAS TWO CHANCES TO BREAK HIS DERBY MAIDEN WITH TIZ TASTIC, WHO WON THE MILE AND 3/16 LOUISIANA DERBY. AND PUBLISHER. A SON OF AMERICAN PHARAOH WHO HASN맥스카지노T WON YET BUT CLOSED TO FINISH SECOND TO SANDMAN IN ARKANSAS. IT맥스카지노S MORE THAN SIGNIFICANT AND SOMETHING THAT I DO MORE THAN JUST THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW?

Asmussen, Casse still chasing Kentucky Derby win

Steve Asmussen is the all-time winningest trainer in North American history, almost 11,000 wins, Eclipse Awards, the Preakness and the Belmont 맥스카지노 but not the Kentucky Derby."The Derby has alluded me, and as far as what I think, not only have I had Curlin and Gun Runner beat in it when I didn't think that was possible," Asmussen recalled. "A couple of years ago, when Epicenter gets beat by a horse that scratches in cause Lukas scratched (Rich Strike), I mean, man, the circumstances that create a Derby winner, sure we fall into the category and maybe this will be the year that we're that fortunate."Mark Casse has won almost 4,000 races, he's also in the Hall of Fame, and has also won the Preakness and the Belmont."What I've learned about this race is that you better have some luck, cause I feel like twice I've went in and could have easily won the Derby," Casse said. "Classic Empire got wiped out at the start, and came from way out of it and finished fourth. War of Will was moving towards the lead when he got taken out." Both are back for another shot with horses that they consider contenders. Casse's Sandman is coming off a first-place finish in the Arkansas Derby."So when you go through things and you check off, does he have enough experience? Yes. Is he running at home? Yes. Is he training as good as you can see a horse train? Yes. We have one of the best riders in the world. Yes. So the only question mark maybe is me," Casse joked. Asmussen has two chances to break his Derby maiden, with Louisiana Derby winner Tiztastic, who won the mile and 3/16ths Louisiana Derby, and Publisher, a son of American Pharoah, who closed to finish second to Sandman in Arkansas. How would he react to the most elusive of wins? "Impossible to know," Asmussen said. "It's more than significant and something that I do more than just think about. I don't know if it's healthy to want something that bad, and maybe that's why it's alluded me."
