she was very fractious as the gate, and the crew then used tongs on her-which seemed to put her in quite a mental state. she used up a lot of energy before running that day, i can see why she tired.

Wow, I did not know that - well, that explains a lot. I was shocked when I saw her run so poorly given how talented she had shown she was.

If she goes to the Derby, let's hope she doesn't act up again like that.

It's looking more likely that Jackson Bend will get in -anyone know who may ride him?

That a rather ignorant comment considering that the Derby has has two $100+ winners in the past five years. At least he's been more consistant than many entered this year.

If Rule doesn't go, will Dominguez get a mount?

I don't believe a rider has been confirmed on Noble's Promise if he goes. Also, I have not heard who rides Backtalk if he gets in.

Willie Martinez rides Noble's Promise. Miguel Mena on Backtalk. Ramon Dominguez has a backup plan.

I was watching Rule and loved his last race, but it appears to have knocked him out for awhile.

Rule couldn't keep up with Mission Implazible
and I don't like Mission Implazible because I don't think he has run in a 1 1/8th prep.

FYI - I'm considering putting Paddy O'Prado in all of my bets

You would have to assume that if Rule doesn't go and Interactif does then Ramon will ride him since he has no rider.
