Maybe the Derby Trial will go back to its roots...

Let's see how desperate today's Derby-at-all-costs connections can get.

What about our boy, Satish? Is he done? He's 24th or 25th, I think. Does the top 20 often lose five or six horses from now 'til the Derby?

After today's bloodbath I listened to little Laffit and Seigel discuss the situation, and what they said made a lot of sense (to me). Firstly, there have not been THAT many injuries since February. Secondly, no horse has dominated a series, let alone 2 or 3 of them. Lastly, the money is better places like Sunland which automatically gets horses in.
