Who knows about Song in May also, so I think Chelokee will make it when all said and done.

Before yesterday's poor performance, Mr Holthus stated that if Officer Rocket was to run one-two in the AR Derby, that we would proceed to the KY Derby. Therefore, we will not be in the field this year.
On that note, he scoped clean yesterday after the race. he wasn't blowing hard at all. This just wasn't our day. It's hard for me to think that any horse was going to defeat Curlin yesterday. Unlike others in the industry, we could try to come up with ridiculous circumstances as to why he ran so poorly. However, this just wasn't our day. Now we must regroup and go from there.
