Steve Haskin's column today also assumes that Premium Tap is going to the Classic:
http://www.ntra.com/content.aspx?type=news&id=21030 Haskin likes Premium Tap as a live longshot. Me, too, which is why I'm trying to confirm that he's entering. --Dunbar

I love that stat on Jockey Club Gold Cup winners and the Classic. I mentioned that last year and was laughed at on ESPN. Obviously Bernardini and Borrego are different animals, but still, Borrego's last prep looked even more effortless against a far superior field last year than Bernardini did this year. Just throwing that out there.

Premium Tap has a chance in the Classic?
Not likely. Haven't seen the field but it's hard to think off-hand of any horse with less of a chance. Hell, if Ouiji Board ran she would have a better chance of winning. Not that she rates to finish ahead of him but at least she's an unknown quantity. Premium Tap has ZERO chance.

Look, whteher it was Desormeaux's fault or not, Premium Tap had a big closing kick (against a weak field I know...), so I'd try him oin the Clasic. It's not out of the question that he could run with these guys. I'd take Desormeaux off of him for sho though! But I hope he runs in the Classic. He'll be coming late.

I have seen quotes from Kimmel stating that he does not wish to face Bernardini. What changed? Bernardini still seems like Bernardini. Perhaps Kimmel now realizes the money to be made coming second through ?

He has ZERO chance and is the kind of horse people only pick on the internet and don't back with their wallets. He will be 40-1 or more and should be every bit of that.

My understanding is that Prado was aboard for the work and he looked exceptional. He will be a big price and would need a ton of luck, but he is not without a chance, given that many in the classic appear to be over the top. BBB

One thing I am certain of is that he has more than a "zero" chance. If you don't understand that, then you are not as sharp as I thought you were. I can assure you I will be backing him with my wallet if I see 40-1. I think he has better than a 2.5% chance to win. I'd also take 10-1 that he finishes in front of Bernardini and 4-1 that he finishes in front of any other individual horse in the race. Those are numbers I'm SURE I'd take. I may be willing to go much lower in the matchups. --Dunbar

I still don't understand why Premium Tap doesn't show up as 'nominated' if he is indeed going to enter. Invasor shows up now that he was a late nomination. So does Bordonaro. It's going to cost a whole bunch more to run him supplemented than if they'd nominate him. --Dunbar
