From the Louisiana Derby, Pants on Fire is headed there and the second place finisher Nehro now has $200K in graded stakes earnings. I have not heard anything on Nehro's plans but he is owned by Zayat Stables (who also has Jaycito but can aggressively place their horses). I would think Nehro would get another prep in.
If Twice the Appeal and Astrology head there from the Sunland Park Derby (Astrology now has enough graded earnings), that could put 6 high-odds horses in from this weekend's races.
It is highly doubtful that this year's Derby will be as nearly wide open betting wise as last year.
