Alan Garcia said "Wherever they want to go with this horse, I want to be there.” He's also riding Soldat isn't he? I assume he meant he wanted to ride the horse long term without locking in a Derby mount commitment, but AK's got the GS earnings to go to the Derby if they want. I'm sure they'll at least consider it. Alan's not the only one with more than one Derby possible at the moment. The inevitable musical jockeys situation is going to commence in a few weeks.
Fingers crossed on Jon Court finally making the Derby. He's on Archarcharch and Supreme Ruler (going in the Sunland Derby 3/27). He's riding for his father-in-law right? Should any of Jinks Fires' horses make the Derby field, I'd say Jon's got it locked in. Even if they don't go, a spot might open up.
