Let's Go Stables just tweeted that El Padrino will be running in the Florida Derby.

Does this mean that Alpha is back in the Wood?

They seem hellbent on keeping Dominguez, so I bet they'll keep him in the Fla Derby. He only needs to run 3rd to have enough graded earnings.

I'm sure Take Charge Indy will be diverted somewhere else now. Pat Byrne is not going to run in a "tough" race with that paper tiger.

I forgot about him. Sounds like a synthetic course of action (Spiral, Blue Grass, Lexington) is in order for him.

Better look out for Team Valor, though.

I'm sure things will change, but it seems nobody of note is headed to the Louisiana Derby, other than the 2nd place finisher in the Risen Star and a couple others.

I wonder if Bob Baffert already sent his two horses for the Rebel. Seems silly to have both in there with similar running styles. He should toss Castaway in the Louisiana Derby. However, Baffert hasn't started a horse at Fair Grounds for ages now.

Does Kelly Breen have anything besides My Adonis?

Secret Circle only for Rebel apparently. Castaway to Sunland.

Is Wimbledon possibly the last Baffert LA Derby runner?

(And My Adonis is Breen's lone TC nominee..)

Prolly some Allowance Race- honestly sick of Byrne already this year,has already missed 2 easy graded earnings chances and now we get to hear him talk about how running against Rags,Alpha and El Padrino might be too hard? I read somewhere that he might just run him in minor Derbies(WV,Iowa,Ohio) and then the Travers?

Also Sheppard kept talking about Ever So Lucky to the Bluegrass after he ran in the Swale
