I think he will as I think something is wrong with Xchanger (besides being slow). I think there is no way Officer Rocket goes and a solid chance that either Sedgefield or Storm in May opt out.

WTF!!!!!

Equirace.com didn't nominate Love Dubai?
Don't they know this is pretty much the last chance to get those much needed graded earnings? Sombody go alert the connections of this horse that they should run again this week and make it 3 races in 3 weeks. They must be holding out for the Derby Trial and then wheeling the horse back in the derby.... clever buggers

Actually the Derby Trial's not graded anymore.

If Albertus Maximus got in it would highly amuse me, to see two sons of Albert the Great in the Derby. He's one of those stallions that would really appreciate a notch like that in his belt since he's hardly commercial and flashy for 2yos. I hate to break it to Pletcher, and nothing against Soaring By, but he's got plenty in already.

From Downey's site:

Curlin in Good Shape; On Way to Kentucky. Curlin came out of the Grade II Arkansas Derby "without a pimple". He left Hot Springs this morning on the same flight with Storm in May, who, after a surprising second in the Arkansas Derby, will go on to the Kentucky Derby as well. Storm in May's stable mate, Delightful Kiss, fourth in the race, is also on the flight and will be pointed to a stakes race Derby week in Louisville. Bill Kaplan trains the pair.

Officer Rocket is out and I hope Sedgefield doesn't go, but it still is up in the air for Chelokee

Gotta love Derby fever, there was also this:

"Realistically, Storm in May is not going to beat that monster."--Trainer Bill Kaplan

Apparently that hasn't dissauded them at all.

I think he plans on getting one of his horses in each of the Triple Crown races. I'mawildandcrazyguy is going to the Belmont.

So we should expect to see Drums of Thunder return in the Preakness?

I'm looking forward to seeing Delightful Kiss run again.

When did Bill Kaplan start training Delightful Kiss? Unless there's some news Pete Anderson trains Delightful Kiss. They may have confused Kiss with Kaplan's Wildandcrazyguy as Storm in May's stablemate.
