I was wondering, is there still a $5 million bonus to any horse that sweeps the Southwest, Rebel, Arkansas Derby and Kentucky Derby? Of so, wouldn't both Secret Circle and Castaway be pointed back to the Rebel?
Also, wondering if Creative Cause will come right back in the San Felipe or wait for the SA Derby?

Looks like you're right, I've been re-reading the articles for this year. I think the attraction this year is a bump up in purse for the Rebel from $300k to $500k

yeah, cella did that in '04 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of oaklawn park.

he was going to put up the 5 million himself;not insure the potential payoff. when he saw smarty jones' last work before the derby, he called the insurance company!!
