Anyone know the intentions of Indian Sun, Tomcito, My Pal Charlie, and Hey Byrn? Do they intend to run if they get in or are they already pointing elsewhere? If the fillies don't go, and Behindatthebar doesn't we are just one defection away from one of those horses getting in.

Are you sure? Before any of them get in Denis of Cork and Halo Najib get in.

My Pal Charlie is being pointed to the Lone Star Derby, connections stated there would have to be at least five defections from the Ky Derby for them to consider

Yeah, if neither filly enters and Behindatthebar doesn't go then those two would be in and the next defection would mean one of those others would be able to get in if they wanted to.

The mention of one or both fillies possibly being entered is really screwing everything up. I wish these guys would make up their mind one way or another and stop teasing the public.
Its really lame to enter and see what post they draw, and most likely scratch if its anything but a "perfect post." This should not be allowed. I mean the connections came right and said what they're intentions were and its okay that 1 or 2 horses may not get in because of the luck of the draw?

We all know when the gates open, there isnt going to be any fillies in there.
Just a bunch of egomaniacs blowing smoke up the public's asses.

The attached article on the bloodhorse website states, "Brereton Jones’ Proud Spell and Fox Hill Farms’ Eight Belles both are probable to be cross-entered in the Derby and the Kentucky Oaks (gr. I)." However, per Jay Privman's DRF article on Monday, Larry Jones is quoted as saying "Proud Spell, if she draws a really crappy post in the Oaks, we might cross-enter her in the Derby. But I'd say that's only 15-85."

If both fillies enter in the Derby, I don't see how Denis of Cork will make the field and Bob Black Jack won't get in if Behindatthebar decides to run. If Todd Pletcher wants to help ensure a fast pace in the Derby (which could lessen the chances of Big Brown), he might want to make sure Bob Black Jack gets in.

Kinda makes me sad that Bob Black Jack may not make the field if some idiots join. He impressed me in his last race. I may have put some money on him...

I'll say this, if Denis of Cork gets in, you have a much better shot then I would.

Honestly though, and this might be nuts, but I might use Anak for 3rd and 4th if I get involved in those types of wagers, I haven't seen his pattern but it has to be forward moving, and while his races have been questionable, he at least is making moves and he is bred for 10 panels

I have absolutely no clue about this year, it is so bad that even I can't have an opinion, and I usually have an opinion on everything

He also ran his only semi-decent race at Churchill. At this point if you have any horse that you think can get 10 furlongs and could step up and run a 95 Beyer you have to take the shot. You'll never see another $2 million race where a 95 Beyer could get you in the money. If nothing else it assures Zito of one less pace horse for War Pass to contend with.

And honestly, I think that might be the ploy here, keeps Bob's Blackjack with the insane idea of putting blinkers on this horse. Talk about tinkering with something at the wrong time.

Retards. Horse is the WORLD RECORD HOLDER at 6F... what the hell does he need blinkers for a 10F race for?!?

Anak Nakal is improving? Well... i guess that's technically a true statement, he couldn't have gotten any worse!
