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..)

He ran The Program there two years ago in the La Derby, but he has certainly sent very few over the last 8 years.

Didn't Indian Blessing run there in 2008?

Yep. She traded decisions with Proud Spell in two starts. The Fair Grounds Oaks was her first defeat.

OMG.. The Program. Just came back a few weeks ago at FG in one of Tonto Fontenot recent wins.

Another of the Thoroughbred Legends failures.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Cigar Street in the La. Derby.

I've been wondering why Baffert has been avoiding FG the last few years. He obviously liked Fair Grounds in the past, or he wouldn't have shipped in firepower like SBD, General Challenge, Real Quiet, Captain Steve, etc. for the bigger races. He even had a small division at FG about ten years ago.
