Trainer Bill Kaplan said Monday that he is taking a wait-and-see attitude with Imawildandcrazyguy, who is still at Calder in Florida.

"We're still planning to run in the Derby if it looks like we can get in, but because of the current situation regarding graded earnings and where we stand on the list, I'm also going to enter him in the Unbridled Stakes at Calder for Saturday," Kaplan said. "We'll then have several days to monitor the situation before making a final decision. We can always scratch Saturday and ship him to Kentucky early next week if it looks like he will get into the Derby field."

That's strange.. Spoke with Haskin last night and he had said he saw Kaplan's two horses... Hmmm...

Are you beginning to believe in Buffy's Tiznow baby? I really hope he does win the derby. Would be SWEET for Tiznow to have a Derby winner.

I loved everything about him the other day. Maybe I should give pause because it came over the poly, but he looked really good winning.

In the beginning of the year, I had a vibe a Tiznow coming out of the Louisiana Derby would win the Derby... in all honesty, I still think that Liquidity has a better shot than Slew's Tizzy, but I'll pull for him for you, Buffy.

He does run well on Poly. I am wondering "is it just the poly or is he finally figuring out this running thing?" He looks like he is a big boy and maybe is just figuring out that huge stride.

We may get better odds on your Tiznow Cajun. Slew's recent win will bring his odds down a bit. Lets put our longshot $$$ on yours.

Honestly, I don't think he will win the derby, but I so WANT HIM TO. Tizzy is a good looking colt.

Maybe there is still some confusion with Delightful Kiss?

But I don't think "Whizzy" has a chance in hell.

Now Bwana Bull ($125,000) may want in. Derby fever is taking over.

Looks like Tizzy is out.

Slew's Tizzy to Skip Derby; Will Run in Preakness

http://tcm.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=38625

That gets Bwana Bull officially in the field. I guess we'll find out later today if he'll stay in the Trial or make a run for the Roses.

I guess I got what I wanted! I can't be mad at his connections for doing right by their horse.

Look out for Tizzy in the Preakness!

I swear we have way more horses pointing to the Preakness pre-Derby than ever. If there isn't a dominating performance in the Derby we could see 20 try and enter the Preakness. Just off the top of my head I can think of all these possibilities:

King of the Roxy
Flying First Class
Street Magician
Starbase
Slew's Tizzy
Xchanger
CP West
Bold Start
Jack Junior
Imawildandcrazyguy

Default No Derby Repeat for Matz; Chelokee to Return to Maryland

Per Bloodhorse at

http://tcm.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=38639

Quote:
Matz said he would feel more comfortable about Chelokee with a little more time, so he and Centennial Farm have decided to head home and look at a possible bid for the May 19 Preakness (gr. I), the second jewel of racing’s Triple Crown.
