Does look like a nice field.

Point Determined hasn't had any racing preps, has he? Is Baffert training him up to the Travers. Didn't work for Bellamy Road last year.

Tough to say. Have to remember that Zito knew Bellamy Road was short last year and was willing to tell anyone who'd listen. I know Point Determined was supposed to go in the Haskell - not sure why they skipped - but if Baffert feels he can get him 100% for the race then I think he'll try it.

What's the deal with Steppenwolfer?

I haven't heard anything about him since he scratched from that race at Colonial.

What about Sweetnorthernsaint?

After Corinthian's last effort I doubt they'll enter him. . . he's too much of a spaz anyway

Sweetnorthernsaint is getting time off and may not be seen again until the winter. Steppenwolfer hasnt worked for a while so I'd expect him to be gone for about that long too.

I'm still a big believer in Sweetnorthernsaint., think he could be a big player next year.

Steppenwolfer won't make the Travers. Danny Peitz was thinking Super Derby as a fall back, but more than likely he said he'll resurface at belmont this fall. I just saw him last weekend in Saratoga, he galloped Sunday.
