I was wondering, is there still a $5 million bonus to any horse that sweeps the Southwest, Rebel, Arkansas Derby and Kentucky Derby? Of so, wouldn't both Secret Circle and Castaway be pointed back to the Rebel?
Also, wondering if Creative Cause will come right back in the San Felipe or wait for the SA Derby?

i'm pretty sure that was 2004 only

Looks like you're right, I've been re-reading the articles for this year. I think the attraction this year is a bump up in purse for the Rebel from $300k to $500k

Here are a few that has announced

Csaba- FOY
Casual Trick-FOY
Dan and Sheila-Gotham
My Adonis- Gotham
Dullahan- Palm Beach then Bluegrass

Isn't Alpha going to go only to the Wood?

yeah, cella did that in '04 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of oaklawn park.

he was going to put up the 5 million himself;not insure the potential payoff. when he saw smarty jones' last work before the derby, he called the insurance company!!

Steve If everything goes alright were going to run Stealcase in the Gotham

Awesome! Gotham filling up OK.. Prospective all good still for Tampa?

Yes Mark added Blinkers and I think it is going to help him alot

Like Stealcase a lot, and was flattered by Windsurfers big maiden score last Saturday.

Too early for a graded earnings list?

Never too early! http://www.drf.com/news/2012-kentuck...takes-earnings

Just saw a thing from Haskin posted an hour ago that Went The day Well is going to the Gotham
http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/horse...alor-quot.aspx

Anybody hear anything about Done Talking? Was hoping he'd go in the Gotham. . . he has a weird worktab that I'm not sure what to make of.

Working Saturday and expected to run in Gotham. David Cohen to ride.

Got sick after Remsen and missed 3-4 weeks. Doing well now according to Smith.

Neck n Neck and News Pending in FOY

Thanks, Steve.

Tom Albertrani reports that he is a work behind with Souper Speedy but hopes to have him ready for the Tampa Bay Derby 3/10..

Steve or anyone, any info on the status of Take Charge Indy? No works since the El Padrino race.

Ian Wilkes explained on ATR Friday that Motor City will start in the Swale instead of the Tampa Bay Derby..

He could always change their mind, but he's not their only horse or first horse on the Derby trail, so the fever's tempered with a bit of wisdom. (PS. No pun intended, I swear.)

Hobby loses Junebugred for a few months.. Ankle chip. Surgery.

Damnit!

You jinxed him :D

I still can't figure out where Baffert is going with Bodemeister.

I don't see him shipping to Oaklawn to take on BB's pair of Southwest winners but, he has to show up somewhere.

Looks that way, doesn't it??!!

Sunland for the Sunland Park Derby?

I bet you are right..
I was just thinking, Baffert would want 2 more preps before the Ky Derby.
KY Derby in 4th career start... WOW

He still has to beat Isn't He Clever at Sunland to get to Lousiville ;)

Who is he sending to the San Felipe and Illinois Derby?

I believe I read fed biz and liaison for the felipe.

Whomever is running Zayat Stables twitter account...said he was going to the Rebel or San Felipe.

Sir Bond is out until at least June with a stress fracture in his right front leg.

Wow- He was entered in an allowance today at FG. Thx for the info

Where is Gemologist?

Gemologist-TB Derby or Rebel Rebel LIKELY
Cyber Secret-Rebel
Reckless Jerry-Possible for Rebel/Probably going straight to Arkansas Derby
Castaway/Secret Circle-1 will stay in Arkansas other 1 to Sunland Derby
Exfactor-Running in some sprint stakes race this Sat

No love for Louisiana Derby 04/01/2012?

FG management totally mismanaged this year. Same weekend as Final Four in Big Easy. No rooms available. I can drive 40 miles out of town and stay for $169 per night! My usual $109 room at Hampton Inn was sold out long ago and at much higher price.

Also, FG is splitting FG Oaks from Louisiana Derby again this year. If I go I will just drive in for Sunday Derby and drive out. Leaning toward closer-to-home OTB with free drinks.

Last rant item -- FG reintroduced admission fee for its "premier" days last season. Other three Louisiana tracks NEVER charge admission!

Prospective wins Pasco.
