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.

That is a shame. Rule is being overlooked by many, and I like his chances, especially with Dominguez aboard.

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.

Devil May Care to be entered in Oaks & Derby
 
The filly Devil May Care will be entered in both races, owner John Greathouse said Sunday afternoon.

Mike Smith is already scheduled to ride Jackson Bend.

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.

ninetoone 04-25-2010 05:57 PM
Steve, are you at liberty to discuss said backup plan?

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

Rule looks like a headcase to me ... just has that crazy eye. *shrugs*

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.
