CC is going in the Bluegrass. . . PLEASE PLEASE stay away from Denis. . . I have a future on him and I'd like for there to be at least some chance of it coming in. . .

Cowboy Cal hasn't worked since March 22nd....

While nothing has been reported about him that I have seen in the press - I wouldn't exactly count on him running in the Blue Grass until I've heard conclusive word of it.

This was in the Keeneland barn notes. If he doesn't show up by Monday then there is something wrong:

Tristan Barry, assistant to Todd Pletcher, said Toyota Blue Grass hopefuls Cowboy Cal and Monba would work “Saturday, Sunday or Monday. He (Pletcher) hasn’t made up his mind.” Barry said on Tuesday that Monba might not run in the Toyota Blue Grass on April 12 but instead start in the Coolmore Lexington (G2) the following week.

Denis of Cork will be a nice bet in the Derby if he makes it in the field. He needs pace, which he will assuredly get. The entire race shape was 100% against him today, and when he was being nudged down the backstretch, he never even inched-up.

A lot of Derby winners have clunked in their prep. Not touting him as a Derby winner, but they don't have to win every race, especially in a year like this.

The last couple of Derbies have been pretty much formful with chalky results especially for the Derby. I like it being this wide open with no clearcut favorite, makes it a very attractive betting race with a possible big payoff.

Does Cowboy Cal have graded earnings from his grass races? I imagine so but haven't seen his name on any of the lists.
Speaking of Pletcher 3yo's, what happened to The Leopard?
