Any probables for the Lexington? Where's Confidence Game?

Running out of Derby horses here...Red Route One last week, now Skinner not getting in...

Is Pletcher going to bother with putting Major Dude back on dirt? I guess the Crown Royal Turf on the undercard is gonna look pretty attractive especially since he has the Derby surrounded all ready.

Seems fair to at least mention that the horses who left the Baffert barn have really underperformed while in a new barn. That isn’t a slight on Yakteen who has done a great job with Practical Move. But it’s interesting that their new trainer is unable to get that same magic.

It looks like they just are what they are. Just OK stakes horses.. Meanwhile, Practical Move.

And also meanwhile, G1 winner Doppelganger..

I thought it meant guaranteed last place finisher, though Disarm getting enough points could throw that into jeopardy:-)

[moses]

Almost two weeks out, is it odd that Kingsbarns, Mage, and Blazing Sevens don’t have jockeys listed? Are they waiting on possible defections before making anything official? Would love to see Carmouche get a mount if possible. Maybe on Kingsbarns.

Having been named on Raise Cain last week, the Castellano/Mage move brings into question whether Ben Colebrook is running..

If not, add Skinner to the lineup..

Colebrook tells Dave Grening they are still planning on running.. Luan Machado being mentioned as possible rider.
