According to the Santa Anita barn notes, Alphie's Bet has been sold for $1 million. The purchaser was not identified in the blurb. Supposed to remain in the care of Alexis Barba.

Anyone know who bought him?

Isn't Sidney's Candy and Caracortado probable for the SA Derby?

Paul Pompa was very close to a deal earlier this week.

Nevermind, I got it. Looks like he's safe at about $195000 after being stuck in the Gulfstream parking lot for this race.

Story was broken on ATR last week during Hammerle segment. Heard it was "interesting" negotiation.

Probable for the 1 1/8-mile Santa Anita Derby:
Alphie’s Bet, Caracortado, Interactif, Setsuko, Sidney’s Candy and Who’s Up.

According to the latest Santa Anita barn notes, Alphie's Bet in fact has NOT been sold.

Also, Interactif is not heading to the Santa Anita Derby, instead he's pointing to the Blue Grass.

It would appear the Ark Derby would be a better fit. 1-1/8 test with 4 weeks rest, and 3 weeks to the Derby. If they are even thinking Derby.

Big Brown made it look easy from the 12 post, which must be on the other side of the parking lot!

A potential private sale of Alphie's Bet, the Sham Stakes winner, fell through this week. Nick Sallusto and Paul Pompa were at Hollywood Park, where Alphie's Bet is stabled, on Tuesday.

Nominations close Saturday for Wood Memorial

Nominations close on Saturday for the $750,000 Wood Memorial (G1) going 1 1/8 miles at Aqueduct on April 3, and Gotham S. (G3) winner AWESOME ACT (Awesome Again), Fountain of Youth S. (G2) winner ESKENDEREYA (Giant's Causeway) and the runners-up from both races form a talented core of Kentucky Derby (G1) hopefuls likely for the 86th running of New York's final major stepping stone to the Triple Crown.

SA Derby notes..

LOOKIN AT LUCKY MAY STAY HOME...

“It depends on how he’s training,” Baffert said on a sun-filled Saturday morning at Clockers’ Corner. “If he’s training really well here, it (running in the Santa Anita Derby) would give him an extra week for the (Kentucky) Derby. If he needed the extra week (since the Rebel), I’ll go to Arkansas. If he doesn’t need the extra week, I’ll stay here.”

OUTLAW PASSING SA DERBY

Going in the Lanes End instead..
