Awesome! Although I think Behindatthebar deserves to be in it more than Cowboy Cal if we're talking Pletcher trainees.

As hard as it is to believe, I think you just outdid yourself.

A Cowboy Cal Derby win would make me a lock to win the national Road to the Roses derby contest thing .... thanks for taking the 0.00015% chance of a CC Derby win and making it 0.00%

I'm as big a fan of his as any, but even I realize he has absolutely NO shot to win the Derby. It's quite obvious there is NO way that he gets the distance. He could be a nice miler on the weeds though. Wrong surface and wrong distance. If Pletcher's gun was loaded for the derby, I'm sure he'd opt out of it for CC and find a more suitable race.

What happened to Court Vision? Please clear this up since we need to know the official Derby mush.

Default News flash: 'Bar' back in Derby
Just got off the phone with Satish...

He said after his cup of coffee, he logged on to Cal Racing this morning and watched 'Bar' run up the track behind the great Autisim Awareness in his dirt race...

That performance has embolden him to subject his horse to his obligatory triple crown race beating in the Derby instead of the Preakness.

"Getting beat 15 lengths in the Derby instead of 12 in the Preakness allows us an extra two weeks to freshen him up for a Swaps Stakes showdown with El Gato Malo" Satish said.
