Thought Jaycito was now with Baffert?

Thanks for putting this up for us Steve!!! One problem on it however it seems DRF forgot about JP's Gusto. He is in the Top 10 but any clue the exacta $ amount AND Biondetti has already been ruled OUT,Buffum is gonna be the Godolphin Rep on the trail

You're right.. $490,000!

J P’s Gusto, winner of the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity, worked five furlongs in 1:00.20 at Santa Anita. He is likely to start in the $250,000 Robert Lewis Stakes over 1 1/8 miles on Feb. 12, trainer David Hofmans said.

I am liking Uncle Mo more and more

That's correct. And no plans announced yet for his first target.

According to this he might be heading to the Bob Lewis...

http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/horse...-a-chance.aspx

Buffum wasn't nominated to the TC.

Have the nominees been listed someplace yet? When does/did the first round of nominations close?

I'm sure he'll be a late nominee. Steve said here that, per Tom Albertrani, Buffum was being sent to Dubai. If not, then why is Biondetti being pointed for a Euro campaign? I think it's a mistake, but he's not my horse.

For those who care about the purses of the preps, the Ill. Derby has been cut to $250k.

I'll make sure they both get the word.

Not sure Jaycito is progressing along that well.

Ya talk is that Jaycito still can't make left turns but Lewis is his target.

Also about Buffum,I saw the same thing but everywhere I look it says Frankel,Biondetti and Pathfork are all pointed to the big race in Europe the same day as the KD.

Illinois Derby will still bank the winner 150k.

I keep forgetting to ask this but cut from what? What was the original amount?

Mountain Town is off the Derby Trail

Any word on Maybesomaybenot's path? Thx in advance.

No clue but McPeek announced that Rogue Romance's path will be Risen Star and LA Derby

What do the * after the horses' names mean?

Possible supplemental nomination.
At this point in time I am guessing that future nomination fees still have to be paid on every runner.

Thanks!

The nominations are made and about to come out next week.

You pay $600 for initial nomination (by January 22), $6,000 if you have to nominate late (March 26). $200,000 between then and Derby.

Hope Ken Ramsey got the memo early this year

Machen at #6? That's pretty high. RunFlatout? He's' ridiculously high off of one race - and he has a completely sprint oriented pedigree. It's an ok list, not great...... Thanks, Steve
