Pointing to Belmont. Take note of what Zayat wants to do re: honoring Jess Jackson.
Classy move.

Has he ridden in Kentucky lately? Guess I didn't know he was licensed to ride there yet...or I've forgotten some stakes mounts he's taken recently.

Shocked to see that both Garrett Gomez and Calvin Borel do not have any confirmed Derby mounts as of yet. These two jockeys rode the winners of the last 2 Churchill dirt stakes races run at 10 furlongs.

Borel appears to be working toward the ride on Master of Hounds...

With Uncle Mo going A-OK today, Pletcher likely to announce Stay Thirsty rider decision later this afternoon.

I know its a LONGSHOT but any chance we see JJ's Lucky Train or Travelin Man enter if they win the Derby Trial?

Both would be in money wise with a win

Both have been campaigned this spring going one turn.
I highly doubt either would suddenly decide change plans to go 1-1/4 off one weeks rest

I was going to ask about Ruler On Ice, who was a late supplement to the Triple Crown, and seemed to be an odd entry into the Derby Trial

Other than my attraction to Soldat, the Arkansas derby top two have my attention
