LAL your new fave. Maybe as low as 3-1 with Baffert in tow.

Fast main track. Good turf.

Dosnt this make it more likely that more than 1 filly going to the derby? Or does it make sense for the top 3 to cross enter and wait for the draw and then coose the best shot. After all they have invested isnt the extra money a good hedge for them

There are 20 numbers on a dart board. Put on a blindfold and toss one

Did TP give any indication in press conference on status of Interactif, Discreetly Mine or DMC?

From the remaining 20 horses, who isn't too slow?

As mentioned before, Endorsement's work pushed back.

http://drf.com/news/article/112476.html

Is this a lesser known trainer being overly cautious because of the off track?
Doesn't want to have a mishap and not have a Derby starter?

There is some fairly wide speculation of a problem here. By the time of the Derby-Oaks worker window after the harrow break, there was no 'off track'. It was fine. Ritter walked him briefly and then put him away. And WinStar's Bill Casner was totally evasive when asked about the horse. Let's wait it out, but it doesn't seem likely things are 100%.

Sorry to hear that, but running the filly is just stupid; she has no chance (and I like her a lot).

Only that the Eskendereya situation made Devil May Care a bit more likely to go Derby. He said he wanted to talk to Mr. Greathouse before saying anything too committal.

Of Interactif, he only said he wasn't crazy about the track for him for a serious work and would wait. If Discreetly Mine came up, I missed it.
