Incorrect. Scat Daddy and Adore the Gold will be in the FLA Derby. Nobiz will end up in the Wood; Stormello probably the Blue Grass.

He's slow and the FOY was slow. Not from Florida this year.

ok i will answer, i think there are 20 3 yr olds right now that are hands down better, that have more experience, and that have alot more seasoning, i also was not that impressed with his last race, he ran big but final time was slow, on a track that played fast all day, he also faced no one that day. also his race before what was the excuse then ?

Matz is babying him anyways.

“We'll probably give him some time, and of course, see how he comes out of this,” said Matz. “He's acting like he's that caliber and he deserves the chance, but I think the Florida Derby comes back a little quick. We ran back on short rest for this race, and I knew he would have to go on short rest for one of these races, so we figured let's do that now and rest before his next race.”

If he thinks the horse can't come back in four weeks to run in the Florida Derby then how the heck does he expect him to come back in the Kentucky Derby on four week rest or less if he skips the Florida Derby? And god forbid if he actually won the Derby how could he possibly come back in two weeks for the Preakness.

He's the only horse in training who fits that whacky Derby profile I came up with.

The 7 horses who have fit it over the last four years have compiled a 7-4-2-0 record in the race...including a couple of 50/1 shots who ran 1st, and 2nd.

However, the problem I see with Chelokee, is that he's just plain not good enough. Even with a voodoo black-magic trend in his corner, I wouldn't touch him.
