Do you think they might scratch him if he draws outside post for the Ky Derby? Or is that considered bad form?

There are already minority holders, so I don't think it's a sell thing. Who knows about the scratch thing. Since they go all the way down the front stretch, there shouldn't be any reason to scratch because of the draw. Two out of the last three winners have come out the 15 hole. Besides that's another reason for them to blame something else.
Porter is saying that he will breeze 5/8's tomorrow. Track is probably going to be sloppy and here is where it just sounds like a circus. According to Porter's quote, he asked about the track condition and the fact that it is probably going to be sloppy and Jones's reply was "well if he don't like wet, he sure won't like it dry." Last time I checked there were a lot of excuses that didn't like the slop at all. Whole thing is ridiculous.
