The Derby Trail just got a whole lot more interesting!

I guess the next 2 weeks will the story, except for the final positions, and injuries.

I assume the * means not nominated?

What is stunning is the amount of Graded money that is out there these days for 3yr olds.

Do UAE Derby earnings count?

Yes, that is why Jose Adan when he hits the board in the UAE Derby is coming for the Derby

Doesn't Hello Broadway have graded earnings?

Yes.. Good point. Has a total of $63,000++.

Nashua too.

The first one didn't have Giant Oak on there, if he runs well in the Blue Grass or Illinois Derby, he will go to the Kentucky Derby. Next three weeks should be awful interesting

Or simply awful..

:rolleyes:

Not familiar with Crowded House. What is the story on this one? Is he being pointed to the Derby/TC?

A lot will depend on what happens in Dubai as well. If North American 3yos finish in the top three spots of the UAE Derby and all decide to come it will really change things especially with one spot guaranteed for that goat from Europe.

It's almost certainly not true.

no - favourite for the Derby here.

Big Drama's trainer did not rule out the Derby if Big Drama runs well in the Swale. He's got the earnings.

DRF:
"Fawkes stated earlier this month that Big Drama was off the Kentucky Derby trail. Could a big effort in the Swale alter those plans, especially since Big Drama already has enough graded earnings to make the field?

"I don't even want to think about the Derby right now," said Fawkes. "I'm just happy to have him back running again and in this race on Saturday."

Who am I really missing that is even considering the Derby? He is fine, and will get into the Derby

Are you forgetting that there are two 750k races next week along with a 500k? Then two huge ones the week after? There could be another ten horses that are on the cusp that get a ton of graded earnings between now and then. 150k was not enough last year or many of the prior years.

NT

Jojo, Take the Points who is heading to the Blue Grass, Imperial Council who is heading to the Wood. Even 2nd in those races is worth $150k. Both the latter 2 have graded earnings already. They most likely will accrue more in the next 2 weeks. I'm not sure where Jojo is after today's 3rd.

Looking at this list, Dunkirk is in better shape than I had originally thought. He'll be 20th, with that goofball Kempton race taking a slot, so really 21st. He'd have to have ALL of those above him to go (very unlikely), and I only see 5 that can leapfrog him barring some bizzare horses winning next week and the week after.

I'm still not a huge fan but he showed me a lot today.

I am going by the possiblities of horses like I Want Revenge, The Pamplemousse, and Old Fashioned running top two, if that doesn't happen sure, Dunkirk is in trouble, but if it does, those spots are already solidified

damn we are all thinking about this at the same time...
You have Regal Ransom on there twice. If you're ranking by graded earnings, he's now #1.

Papa Chem = Freudian slip?

$75k + $58k = $133k by my calculations.

Been drinking...

Not ranked by Graded Earnings, just thinking about reality and who is really going to go.

Square Eddie
Big Drama
A horse or two from the Blue Grass.
A horse from the Illinois Derby.
The Lexington winner.

I'll agree with the bottom three, but the top two, come on....Do you really think that either will be going to the Derby, one was all over the track and isn't a horse that stays healthy, and the other hasn't raced since January, and needs everything to go perfect for him to be even considered.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if Reddam & O'Neil put Square Eddie in the Derby.

I would be, but hell, do it, allows me to toss a horse with ease and he will get played...

Square Eddie's people say he's on track for the Derby. And Big Drama's connections have not ruled it out. And even if they had, I still say he's going.

i wouldn't either. not one bit.

The Lexington is a graded stakes race three weeks from today. If Dunkirk recovers well off this race he could run it that race.

If the connections want to get the earning needed to qualify for the Derby they have the chance. I'm sure Pletcher/ Tabor have a Plan B mapped out.

this is what pletcher said pre-fla derby:

A second puts us where we're on the bubble. … If we're in that situation, my gut reaction is that this will be his last start before the Kentucky Derby. If for some reason he doesn't get in, we'll just have to live with that and go on to the next step, which could be the Preakness."


so, seemingly they won't be at churchill unless his current standing ends up high enough in a few weeks time-and i doubt the earnings he has accumulated will actually be enough after all the 'preps' are run. of course, we all know in this sport that things can change...but it doesn't appear that they have a plan to change their schedule and try to squeeze in another race before may.

I think their Plan B was to run a rabbit, and regardless, win today.

Eric

Every year people run horses in the Derby because they can and not because they should. Why would this year be any different?

i dont think Big Drama goes. Hes a really nice sprinter and his trainer understands that. If they go though... I really dont blame them... the Derby is the Derby.

It will be a great Derby i just really hope Dunkirk runs cause he's my early pick AS OF NOW!

Maybe Tabor and company will buy some of the less valuable horses ahead of Dunkirk on the earnings list and then simply not run them.
