3yo Graded Earnings List

[Scav]

The first one didn't have Giant Oak on there, if he runs well in the Blue Grass or Illinois Derby, he will go to the Kentucky Derby. Next three weeks should be awful interesting

Not familiar with Crowded House. What is the story on this one? Is he being pointed to the Derby/TC?

no - favourite for the Derby here.

Big Drama's trainer did not rule out the Derby if Big Drama runs well in the Swale. He's got the earnings.

DRF:
"Fawkes stated earlier this month that Big Drama was off the Kentucky Derby trail. Could a big effort in the Swale alter those plans, especially since Big Drama already has enough graded earnings to make the field?

"I don't even want to think about the Derby right now," said Fawkes. "I'm just happy to have him back running again and in this race on Saturday."

Is this certainly true? Are there horses ahead of him who could add to their earnings and have more than $150,000? How many of the current top 20 earners are definitely not running in the Derby?

A lot will depend on what happens in Dubai as well. If North American 3yos finish in the top three spots of the UAE Derby and all decide to come it will really change things especially with one spot guaranteed for that goat from Europe.

It's almost certainly not true.

Last year Denis of Cork was the last horse in at I believe 165K

Looking at this list, Dunkirk is in better shape than I had originally thought. He'll be 20th, with that goofball Kempton race taking a slot, so really 21st. He'd have to have ALL of those above him to go (very unlikely), and I only see 5 that can leapfrog him barring some bizzare horses winning next week and the week after.

I'm still not a huge fan but he showed me a lot today.
