All 3 are on the trail ,why not just run them in the Holy Bull and pick up some graded earnings? I know 4th/5th place won't pay alot but it adds up if u wanna make the Derby
I'm not a trainer nor do I play one on TV, but the three you mentioned have gone two turns in their most recent races and it sends the wrong message to turn them back to one turn. You'll see at least a couple of them next month in the G2 Fountain of Youth.
