I thought we might see CP West in here off the decent return effort at GP.

Looks like an interesting race already, even if just the "likely" horses show up. Belgravia obviously liked the synthetic oval a bit last year and his connections are rolling right now. Joe Got Even is a real Polytrack freak, and I'm surely interested in seeing anybody from the Lane's End run back. Albertus Maximus beat the highly regarded Pavarotti in a nice maiden special weight win last month at Santa Anita and Slew's Tizzy has a win over the Polytrack already this winter. Soaring By ran terribly in the Lousiana Derby because he lost it before the race even started, then came back to run nicely on the Fla Derby undercard. I have a feeling he will like the Polytrack given the hint of turf in his pedigree.

He didn't even nominate. Withers maybe?

Interesting that they are listing Xchanger as one of the probables. He still hasn't worked since the 4th. Not sure what is going on there.

Where is the Trust Your Luck horse that ran second to Dominican in the Rushaway? Seems like this would be a no brainer spot for him.

He's going in the Forerunner at Keeneland Thursday, last I heard.

Looks like Trust Your Luck entered both. Hopefully he goes here.

You know this race will have the existing bubble horses sweating it out.

Interesting they didn't nominate. Was he nominated for the Blue Grass?
A lot of tracks have their Derby preps as a nomination "package" (i.e., you nominate for the Fla Derby, it also includes the Holy Bull and FoY. Might not be the case @ KEE.

No package deal at Keeneland.

I was impressed with Albertus Maximus' win at SA.
