so, did AGS get enough earnings to get inside the bubble? earned 75k for the show. was it the plan, run good enough to get in the derby field, but don't get to the bottom of the horse? wish i had been a fly on the wall to hear the conversation to the jock before the race. AGS has never been my derby pick, and i see no reason to change that.

He had a right to bounce a bit coming back from the fight he had with SS. Plus the quick turn-around. I think he's at about $177k in terms of earnings at this point. I think it should be enough.
I don't love him, but assuming Scat Daddy is the Pletcher favorite on Derby Day he has the chance to be the "other" Pletcher that gets away on the board a bit and is a good value play. Plus he's a great fighter (battled Tiz Wonderful and SS in great races).
He's certainly on my short list of contenders for Derby.
