Havana was off the trail when he missed the Swale. And he was barely on it before that point.

Per Bloodhorse article, Borel gets mount on Conquest Titan

Kid Cruz won't run in the Wood, because Linda Rice had to give him 10 days off training

Just read through Haskin's most recent Derby lost and there is a nugget at the bottom that concerns me: Cali Chrome will not have a workout over the Churchill surface as he will ship in on 4/28.

This was the same approach taken with I'll Have Another. That may allay your fears to an extent.

No one should get points for that race, it is a disgrace if anyone in that field takes a spot away from a deserving runner who does not get in.
