In this week's appearance, despite the setback, Pletcher was still upbeat about HAVANA. Made it sound like the quarter crack indeed popped up quickly, has been given the Ian McKinlay darning treatment and won't miss any serious training time.

Also from Pletcher visit, 2-for-2 ANCHOR DOWN (Tapit) who 96 Beyered Saturday in a 6f ALW win, will likely get a 9f audition and it appears that the Florida Derby is the spot. Palm Beach hero GALA AWARD (Bernardini) meanwhile, will predictably point for the Blue Grass..
