Not coming. Zito said he didn't like the short turnaround.

General Quarters has committed.

If McCarthy hurries, he can maybe run Saturday in the Lone Star Derby too. They're going to have to drag him out of the spotlight... with his teeth marks on it.

Why aren't we saying the same thing about Stute, Lukas, Ryan, Baffert or Jones? It's OK for all of them to run back in two weeks, but not McCarthy? I'd do the same thing with my one horse, as long as he was sound.

No, it used to be run on Preakness Day, but last year they moved it to the week before. I'm guessing because trainers didn't like only having three weeks before the Belmont.

It's only been run then just the last few years, ten years ago and back it was run on Memorial Day weekend.

Yeah but he said it like the TG guys called the winner. I'm pretty sure this is what they said:

"was relatively slow at two, and finally moved forward last time. There is nothing wrong with this pattern, and with rest he has a good chance to run a new top now -- but he would need an enormous jump to be competitive."
