Big Drama's trainer did not rule out the Derby if Big Drama runs well in the Swale. He's got the earnings.
DRF:
"Fawkes stated earlier this month that Big Drama was off the Kentucky Derby trail. Could a big effort in the Swale alter those plans, especially since Big Drama already has enough graded earnings to make the field?
"I don't even want to think about the Derby right now," said Fawkes. "I'm just happy to have him back running again and in this race on Saturday."
