Interesting that Alpha shows up in the Count Fleet. Don't get me wrong, it's a sensible spot, but it makes you wonder why he doesn't race at Gulfstream where I presume the first string is (Alpha was breezing in FL last month). He's eligible for first condition, too, which should be plentiful down south. Frankly, the way he went off form in the BC, I had anticipated he would start from scratch after more of a break, perhaps even around one turn initially.

On a side note, Alpha will also be adding lasix for the first time. Remember last year, Kiaran McLaughlin said something about racing his 2yos without lasix. I guess that doesn't extend into their 3yo year.

Thanks. Totally missed that one. Forgot that It's Tricky came from Aqueduct, too. Still a question mark is why, having started in Florida, was Alpha sent back north? Captivating Lass has been in NY the whole time. Maybe McLaughlin has another Derby prospect in Florida.

I guess I should just be thankful that Alpha isn't in Dubai.
