Charitable Man is out of the Derby? I wonder if they will change their minds if he runs well in either of his next two starts, obviously the Lexington and Withers, as clearly what he really needs is three pre-Derby starts to get into condition.

I just hope this year's e-mail gets wide distribution.

Is JoJo going to the Derby even though he stopped badly in the Bluegrass?

Off the Derby trail per Privman article on DRF.com due to "a stifle problem that plagued him as a 2-year-old flare anew, according to trainer Ken McPeek."

Mr. Hot Stuff may now have enough earnings to get in as I don't think Massone is even nominated to the Triple Crown (connections stated they were pointing for the Snow Chief Stakes).

Is this a by-product of running back so soon from FLA? Too bad either way.

I don't understand the decision to not run Terrain. The horse is nearly a lock for fifth place.

Lighten up on the guy. He gave it a shot. You know you aren't right all the time either. Let's see there's Counter Move a couple back, Saarlight, Dream Play twice now. We all can make mistakes in this game.
