Nautical Agent with Disco Rico filly foaled last week. Mom and baby both well. Plotting to take trip up north for a visit in few weeks. Veiled Reference, in foal to Alphabet Soup about a month and half now, is coming down to NY from Canada shortly, so we'll be able to see her, too. I just hope NA and VR get on well enough. Would be hard to have family in-fighting at the farm.Re: Kentucky Derby, have to shake head after scratch of favorite, Eskendereya. Zayat thought he'd be able to hold him together for resale after the big Wood win (after all, they did give him the extra week for the NY race, not the Derby), but poor colt came back so off that they couldn't even have him vetted for a sale. That must have been a fun call between Pletcher and Zayat..."Umm, yeah, don't bother driving up the ask price, Ahmed, can't even get him to the track." Where will Zayat get the $34M now? I'll have to see what I can dig up in the couch cushions.
Ice Box in the Derby, even though I never cared for Zito's act after his Strike the Gold win (not in video, but you get a little taste w/ his gesticulating). Lookin' at Lucky most likely winner. Will use him up and down in exotics.

where are your updates for Report Back? I used to look at pics of Nautical Agent from Fair Hill and was excited to see your filly win.
