THE 2015 MKB BOOK of Prospects

MKB : a Brief history.

I wanted to note how the MKB started .

Back in summer of 2008 , it was noticed by our ANNIE that there is a lull in horse racing interest between the Breeders Cup races and the Kentucky Derby .

What better way to continue sharing our horse racing passion, interaction and dialog with our Formblog friends by offering an activity to bridge that gap.

How about a ‘Kentucky Derby prospect’ to follow along the preps and races leading up to the Kentucky Derby in May ?

GENIUS! That concept became what is now the MKB. It can only be found here at Dan Illman’s Formblog. The first year was for the 2009 Kentucky Derby and now seven years later it is still as popular and going strong.

Each year we have new people visiting and participating at Dan’s Formblog.

Here is a Nov 2014 post and explanation from Annie :

I suppose I should explain the MKB for the newcomers. Like every year, someone is sure to ask "What is the MKB?" :)

MKB stands for Magic Kleenex Box. It's named for the box in which the names of promising two-year-olds will be placed next month. On December 14th, one of these horses will be drawn for each Formblogger who signs up for the MKB. That horse will become that person's own special horse to follow along the Derby Trail.

This will be the 7th Annual MKB and in 5 of the last 6 years, the winner of the Kentucky Derby has been drawn from that box either during the December draw or later in the March draw which assures that late-blooming three-year-olds can be included. Those eligible for the March draw will be Formbloggers whose original horse was not nominated to the Triple Crown or was injured or withdrawn from the Derby Trail.

Enjoy the fun of watching your very own horse compete against the horses of your fellow Formbloggers along the Derby Trail. SR Vegas will assist me in making sure that you know when and where your horse will be running so you can experience the anticipation and excitement of "owning" a Derby prospect.

If you have ever wanted to own a racehorse that could compete at the highest level, here's your chance to experience what it would be like, just by signing up for the MKB starting tomorrow! Of course, with so many horses vying for the top prizes, not all will achieve the very top level, but owners who spend thousands, even millions, have the same risk.

Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones. Annie

Thank YOU Annie!

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE MKB

Twas’ the night before MKB, with anticipation of course. Not a creature was stirring, not even a horse. The halters were hung on the stall pegs with care, In hopes that the owners soon would be there.

The horses were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of roses danced in their heads. And I in my nightie, settled down for the night, Anxiously awaiting the dawn of first light.

And then in the corner the ancient lamp glowed, And out of the opening, the great Genie flowed. Her hair shone like gold, her eyes emerald green, She was the immortal MKB Queen.

She touched the Kleenex box on the nightstand, And it glowed with bright light from the touch of her hand. She summoned them all, and called them by name, Urging them on to fortune and fame.

"Now Dortmund! Now Mawthooq! Now Daredevil and Frosted! On Upstart! On Aldrin! On Eagle and Blofeld!" Many more names she called with a howl, "Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

She summoned them all to feel the desire, The ancient legacy of speed and fire, Infused in the blood of their royal breed, She brought it to fore in each noble steed.

"It's your chance of a lifetime, In a lifetime of chance, Run for the roses, Your life to enhance.

May you all come home safely, Happy and sound. And the pleasures of life, May they truly abound."

With that the Genie, Full of good cheer, Flowed back in the lamp To await the next year.

In spite of not yet having run in a stakes race, he is only 15-1 on Wynn's Futures. And he also was the lowest price of the 23 single horses in Pool 1 of the Derby Futures at 9-1.

Perhaps the early betting is because of his impressive allowance win where he won by 7-3/4 lengths and earned a Beyer of 95. Looks like he will get the chance to prove he is as good as they think he is this Sat. in the Los Alamitos Futurity.

His stats say he sold at the FTSAug13 yearling sale for 300K, but it also shows that Zayat bred him and Zayat owns him, so I don't know what that's all about.

Pretty sure that last one was not a true test of his talent. I imagine Castellano didn't push him when he had lost all chance. Deserves another chance.

My horse is UPSTART.

He is dark bay or brown ridgling by Flatter out of Party Silks by Touch Gold. He was born 4/13/12.

My trainer is Richard Violette, Jr.

Although he is a New York bred, he has run well in open company stakes, so you never know. :) He sold at the SARAug13 yearling sale for $130,000, and he's already earned almost 4 times that amount. :) Good boy, keep it up! And he is only 40-1 on Wynn's Futures!

He has raced 4 times, with 2 firsts, 1 second and 1 third, and has earned $463,800. :)

Not only that he already has a triple figure Beyer (102), which he earned running second in the GR1 Champagne to Daredevil.

Well, he obviously is meant to route, and he made the transition from turf to dirt, so things are looking promising.

YFL posted: My MKB.....Imperia. This could be a serious racehorse. After placing 2nd at the Spa in a msw, had the maiden breaker in the grade 3 Pilgram at Bel. Came home in 27.4 ( no calculator needed ) with the last 1/16th in 5.64. Was 10 lengths faster than the Miss Grillo two races before.

Then on to the BC juvie turf. 10th place not so good looking...... but, hugged the rail, was picking them up midway into the turn, then was denied room to run, repeatedly thru the lane.

Then at the place the Kentucky Derby is held...... ran 2nd by a head in the Gr. 2 Kentucky Jockey Club, once again closing well thru the lane.

It appears any surface is good for this one. Now...if he can just stay healthy and happy, the sky is the limit! And as CVS said once or probably more.....” When you got Slew, You got horse”

Thanks Genie for my MKB horse. YFL

Chalky, It is important that you save the chanting for when he is in a race, and not use it until then or it may lose its magical effect. :)

Race record: 9/27 BP 3rd MDSP at 7F, making a bid while 5 wide. He must have needed to grow up a little, so they stopped on him. But, at least he ran a race at two, so doesn't carry the curse. :) Hopefully he will improve by leaps and bounds when he comes back at three.

Comments and other notes from Formbloggers:

I wanted to mention that there are several things I have noticed that are different this year than in previous years of the MKB.

1. You will notice many more horses trained by Mark Casse. His owners have been spending big bucks at the sales and he is running the horses here in the U.S. rather than Canada, on many occasions. He looks determined to win some Derby preps and get them in the Derby gate.

2. For some reason there are many more chestnuts and greys among the MKBs than in previous years. It used to be most were bays or dark bays with a smattering of chestnuts and a few greys.

3. Also there are many more ridglings this year. Don't know what's going on with that. But it doesn't seem to bother their sales prices or their ability. I even have one (UPSTART). :)

4. One more thing I noticed. There are many more million dollar horses in the MKB this year. They were spending with both fists in 2013/2014.

While awaiting Dan's weekly blog to be released, I compiled a list of 2015 Derby candidates who possess the pedigree power. The statistical bloodlines it takes to win the run for the roses. At least the ones who have graced us with their presence thus far. It must be noted that this trend is changing for the last two years produced identical bloodlines with Nasrullah on top and Native Dancer on bottom (In regards to sire and broodmare sire). However, I still prefer Native Dancer on top and on the bottom..and it's due to hit! So here's the big ten..so far..

1. TEXAS RED 2. AMERICAN PHAROAH 3. KEEN ICE 4. OM 5. FIRST DOWN 6. KAMARIUS 7. LUCKY PLAYER 8. BLOFELD 9. INTERNATIONAL STAR 10. JESS'S DREAM
