When was that supposed race down at the FG that they said would put a huge purse on it to get those two to come?

I am guessing that Churchill doesn't want it to be Derby week because this 'matchup' would absolutely make the Derby 2nd fiddle.

I don't see the Mosses going to NY either. Should be pretty interesting
FG has a $200k race on 3/13 that she could run in. The Apple Blossom is April 4. As some have pointed out, she has done little more than gallop in the am. She won't have a work until the end of this month or beginning of next at the earliest. I don't imagine they will rush her just to make the Oaklawn race. I still think any matchup will be in the Louisville at the earliest. Who knows. RA might may make her 2010 debut in a specially written FG allowance on the Louisiana Derby undercard.
