I think the next defection will be A Little Warm, who had a fever after shipping up to Delaware and was supposed to work this weekend. He has not worked, so hopefully Tony Dutrow will re-think this and run him in the Woody Stephens on Belmont day.

Yep. As it stands, he also should have been in the Withers.

I completely agree and in fact, I think that provided he's healthy he has a chance to become the best 3YO sprinter around.

It's kind of a shame with the NYRA streamline of stakes races.

A Little Warm could have tried the 7f Woody Stephens followed by the 8.5f Dwyer in July which would have gone a long way in determining what race he should run in on Travers Day.

The two races that are not on the calendar that will be missed are the Dwyer (at its old date) and the Tom Fool. Now there's not a graded race in NY for sprinters between the True North and Vanderbilt.

Wow. Didn't know about the Tom Fool. They haven't had the Brooklyn now for several years, so I guess after the Met Mile it's the 10f Grade 2 Suburban or nothing for both sprinters and handicap horses in general.

The Suburban was actually shortened to 9 furlongs this year and is part of a very watered down July 4th weekend.

You'd have to think that Pletcher is going to point Quality Road to the Whitney, so I wonder if he'll use the Suburban in the interim. The Whitney actually has the potential to be a terrific race if Battle Plan improves in the Foster, Blame comes back in good order and QR gets back in form.

Probably good for him, assuming he's OK, and definitely good news for First Dude....who unlike A Little Warm can actually win the race.

That field makes for an interesting race from a betting perspective. I do heart Preakness day.

It sounds as if you like First Dude somewhat. The Preakness usually runs more chalky than the derby. Two of the top 3 derby finishers in the money, just a matter of picking that 3rd horse for the tri box.

We will be there!

Just look for the sentimental local horse to suck up third at a nice price.

I'm sure Horatio Karamanos or Julian Pimentel are available.
