I'm guessing that based upon his comments to Mike & Mark this morning (actually yesterday) KM will not be looking to keep Charitable Man headed for the Derby.

I would say Dunkirk is safe even with the Lex still to go.

especially with old fashioned now out.

Along with Regal Randsom most likely not going either.

[PatCummings]

With Old Fashioned and The Pamplemousse out, I think Regal Ransom is more likely to go now than at any other previous time on the Derby trail. Godolphin said initially that both could go and would ship, but maybe one to the Derby and one to the Preakness.

They are both at Churchill now, and have been for a few days, and I think they might be encouraged to send both if they are training well.

Nope. Travers focus from what I hear.

Terrain is not Derby bound...at least in KY.

Charitable Man's connections confirmed today that they are off the Derby Trail, and I believe Terrain, Win Willy, Giant Oak, Regal Ransom and Maafaz are all still undecided. Interesting that it could take close to only 100K in graded earnings to get in this year.

I will be shocked if Giant Oak doesn't go to the Derby. My guess is his work next week will be really good and they will go

[blackthroatedwind]

Charitable Man is out of the Derby? I wonder if they will change their minds if he runs well in either of his next two starts, obviously the Lexington and Withers, as clearly what he really needs is three pre-Derby starts to get into condition.

I just hope this year's e-mail gets wide distribution.

Guess Kiaran is wearing the DUNCE CAP.

[Ogygian]

Is JoJo going to the Derby even though he stopped badly in the Bluegrass?

Lighten up on the guy. He gave it a shot. You know you aren't right all the time either. Let's see there's Counter Move a couple back, Saarlight, Dream Play twice now. We all can make mistakes in this game.

i was actually thinking the exact opposite. thought the illi derby was a must win, also if i remember correctly read something along the lines of the connections being more likely on the side of NOT running in the derby, but can't recall where


hail yeah.... dunkirk is in...... the dunkirk vs. quality road rematch battle royal, everyone else is just battling for 3rd place money
