Are you forgetting that there are two 750k races next week along with a 500k? Then two huge ones the week after? There could be another ten horses that are on the cusp that get a ton of graded earnings between now and then. 150k was not enough last year or many of the prior years.

I am going by the possiblities of horses like I Want Revenge, The Pamplemousse, and Old Fashioned running top two, if that doesn't happen sure, Dunkirk is in trouble, but if it does, those spots are already solidified

Jojo, Take the Points who is heading to the Blue Grass, Imperial Council who is heading to the Wood. Even 2nd in those races is worth $150k. Both the latter 2 have graded earnings already. They most likely will accrue more in the next 2 weeks. I'm not sure where Jojo is after today's 3rd.

$75k + $58k = $133k by my calculations.

damn we are all thinking about this at the same time...
You have Regal Ransom on there twice. If you're ranking by graded earnings, he's now #1.

Papa Chem = Freudian slip?

Been drinking...

Not ranked by Graded Earnings, just thinking about reality and who is really going to go.

Square Eddie
Big Drama
A horse or two from the Blue Grass.
A horse from the Illinois Derby.
The Lexington winner.

I'll agree with the bottom three, but the top two, come on....Do you really think that either will be going to the Derby, one was all over the track and isn't a horse that stays healthy, and the other hasn't raced since January, and needs everything to go perfect for him to be even considered.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if Reddam & O'Neil put Square Eddie in the Derby.

I would be, but hell, do it, allows me to toss a horse with ease and he will get played...

The Lexington is a graded stakes race three weeks from today. If Dunkirk recovers well off this race he could run it that race.

If the connections want to get the earning needed to qualify for the Derby they have the chance. I'm sure Pletcher/ Tabor have a Plan B mapped out.

Danzig · #14 03-28-2009, 11:17 PM

this is what pletcher said pre-fla derby:

A second puts us where we're on the bubble. … If we're in that situation, my gut reaction is that this will be his last start before the Kentucky Derby. If for some reason he doesn't get in, we'll just have to live with that and go on to the next step, which could be the Preakness."

so, seemingly they won't be at churchill unless his current standing ends up high enough in a few weeks time-and i doubt the earnings he has accumulated will actually be enough after all the 'preps' are run. of course, we all know in this sport that things can change...but it doesn't appear that they have a plan to change their schedule and try to squeeze in another race before may.

I think their Plan B was to run a rabbit, and regardless, win today.

The problem with running back in the Lexington is that THEN he's got two weeks to the Derby. When has Todd manaed to win a major race off 2 weeks? It's possible but improbable.

Square Eddie's people say he's on track for the Derby. And Big Drama's connections have not ruled it out. And even if they had, I still say he's going.

i dont think Big Drama goes. Hes a really nice sprinter and his trainer understands that. If they go though... I really dont blame them... the Derby is the Derby.

It will be a great Derby i just really hope Dunkirk runs cause he's my early pick AS OF NOW!

Indian Charlie · #19 03-29-2009, 05:03 AM

Maybe Tabor and company will buy some of the less valuable horses ahead of Dunkirk on the earnings list and then simply not run them.

I really hope they don't go with Big Drama. He is what he is, 8.5f is probably his max unless he can get an easy lead. If he were mine, the Met Mile would be the goal....

I don't think Fawkes or Queen will get Derby Fever.
