Awesome! Although I think Behindatthebar deserves to be in it more than Cowboy Cal if we're talking Pletcher trainees.

Interesting. Did the swap deal go through after all?

I'm sure the Days Inn in Jeffersonville isn't full yet. Heck, Mr. Warren could probably buy the entire hotel for less than $86,000.

Bel Air Sizzle, a 3yo filly, won a 1 1/16 turf n1x race on April 24 (Thursday), and she ran second in the Melair S (1 1/16 on Cushion) at Hollywood Park on Sunday, promoted to first on the dq of the first finisher. A mare in Britain won 2-mile hurdle races on successive days at Ayr a couple of weeks ago. And he's worried about 3 races in 30 days?

As hard as it is to believe, I think you just outdid yourself.

Could he have possibly typed most when he meant to type least?

Nah.

A Cowboy Cal Derby win would make me a lock to win the national Road to the Roses derby contest thing .... thanks for taking the 0.00015% chance of a CC Derby win and making it 0.00%

So does that mean you're going to activate him as one of your 5?

It's the only shot I know I have of winning it all.

I guess I could have a shot if something like a Z Fortune or Denis Of Cork hits and I use them - and catch something underneath - but, you've got to play to win. There is no doubt in my mind I win the whole thing nationally, regardless of what anyone else does, if I use Cowboy Cal and he somehow wins the race.

I'm as big a fan of his as any, but even I realize he has absolutely NO shot to win the Derby. It's quite obvious there is NO way that he gets the distance. He could be a nice miler on the weeds though. Wrong surface and wrong distance. If Pletcher's gun was loaded for the derby, I'm sure he'd opt out of it for CC and find a more suitable race.
