Default Atoned, Behindatthebar bring Lex to 8
Dogwood/Pletcher confirm Atoned to Lexington.. and Behindatthebar a go as well.


LEXINGTON

(indicates needed finish for Derby entry)

1. $195k
2. $65k
3. $32.5k

Tomcito (3rd or better)
Atoned (2nd assures Derby; 3rd improves position greatly)
Racecar Rhapsody (Win only)
Samba Rooster (Win only)
Behindatthebar (Win only)
Big Glen (Win only)
Salute the Sarge (Not necessarily Derby-intended; Already enough earnings)
Red Sandy (?)

how much is the Lexington purse? Will place money get Tomcito in the Derby?

Is Salute the Sarge still on the derby trail? Steve's updated graded earnings list (Thanks for doing that, Steve) has him in what would be 14th on the list, but there is an X next to his name. Is he definitely pointed towards the Derby? That would bump Dennis of Cork from 20th and put Bob Black Jack and Visionaire on the bubble, pending the results of the Lexington. I think a show would put Tomcito in the Derby, plus the winner and possibly the place horse. That would burst the bubble for the two aforementioned colts.

If Steve's list is right, and I assume it is, shouldn't Tomcito only need to run third or better to get in?

For Big Glen and Samba Rooster there is a very slim chance that a win might not be enough. The rest are in with a win for sure. Tomcito is in with a second place finish. Atoned should be in with a second place finish but not definitely. Salute the Sarge is in no matter what he does if they want to run him.

I think a win (Steve has $195K for 1st) puts that horse in the Derby, if they should want to go.

Not if Salute the Sarge, Eight Belles, and Anak Nakal wind up going.
