Running Pleasant Prince probably wouldn't have been likely anyway. DIdn't he just run up the track in the Derby Trial? Rather go 10f with one turf/poly Kitten's Joy than run another 3YO for the fourth time in like six weeks.

[slotdirt]

Total aside, but I'd heard Setsuko's been training lights-out at CD this week anyway. I hope we get to see him try the Belmont, perhaps.

Rail For Lookin At Lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Sidney gets the 20 hole. Oh my

A damned shame. I really can't even blame the connections completely. Back when horse owners were sane, it was a no-brainer that the SA Derby runner-up could make the field. But nowadays...[see Beyer rant].

Duh, there were many Derbys where there weren't many horses.

[slotdirt]

Not only is this field utter muck, but the potential favorite and second favorite are now on the rail and in post 20. It's almost like CD planned it.

Weren't you the whining about this type of response in the Garret to the Shore thread just a few days ago?

I'm sure duh is the same as those responses...maybe look at that thread first and compare....My only point is I wouldn't want someone to be thrown by a fact that the rail horse has won the most Derby's when it isn't applicable to today's Derby's fields.

Sorry to hear that. Not a good reason to play him though.

Well, he would have been THE wiseguy horse if he had gotten in, so now it is just dart-tossing time. I get the feeling Ice Box will be a big underlay now.

Looks like SC is going to be throttled down whether he likes it not.

I have the unlikely Jackson Bend covered on my remaining future ticket, so (as of now) I will poke around with Ice Box, AA and Mission Impazable in this year's grade III Kentucky Derby. Let's hope for 4 inches of rain to make it a total clusterfork.
