Steve, according to today's DRF, Imawild is at Calder and will be shipped to Kentucky early next week if he's going to run in the Derby:
Trainer Bill Kaplan said Monday that he is taking a wait-and-see attitude with Imawildandcrazyguy, who is still at Calder in Florida.
"We're still planning to run in the Derby if it looks like we can get in, but because of the current situation regarding graded earnings and where we stand on the list, I'm also going to enter him in the Unbridled Stakes at Calder for Saturday," Kaplan said. "We'll then have several days to monitor the situation before making a final decision. We can always scratch Saturday and ship him to Kentucky early next week if it looks like he will get into the Derby field."
