With the 2 year old season started I figured now would be a good time to make this discussion.

Kentucky Derby 2020 Radar: Dennis’ Moment leads 5 to know: https://www.horseracingnation.com/blogs/DerbyRadar/Kentucky_Derby_2020_Radar_Dennis_Moment_tops_names_to_know_123?fbclid=IwAR2FnPk4ed2wqJiZyp-9WCBWrWuTM-dBDveaNDr-nHj1J3sk5DeddzxLbro

I try every year to not get too "high" on the two-year olds, but, well, I can't help myself with Dennis' Moment. He is by Tiznow I would love to see a Tiznow colt be a top contender as a three year old. I can't believe he broke his maiden with a 19 length win.
His first attempt on June 23rd was at Churchill Downs and he stumbled and dumped his jockey. That race was very interesting and says something about this colt, He recovered and continued his run in such a disciplined way --- as if he had a jockey directing his run. Continued on without interfering with the others and, I think, nosed out the actual winner at the finish line. This Tiznow colt could be one of his best!
The video of that "riderless" win is on this Bloodhorse link:

Same here about Tiznow. I wish this colt had a better name.
