His ticket is already punched in terms of earning thanks to the Champagne. He would only need a 2nd or 3rd in one race to get there. If he couldn't do that he wouldn't be going to the KY Derby. The Remsen would be more than enough.
Money is not an issue with this horse. The only issue is safety and getting him to Florida healthy. I think he will likely go Holy Bull, Fountain of Youth, Wood or something that that with him. He is a very big horse though and he might just go the Barbaro route. I really think Tagg will go the same route he did with Funny Cide though. I would have to look at the race schedule but a race in Louisiana or Arkansas might be in there. 99% sure though they will try to go to the Wood with him, just like FC and just like they planned for Showing Up before he has a minor injury.
