Kind of anticipated Baffert going back on his early statement that Drill would be kept sprinting. He did the same with The Factor last year.

In addition, Drill has a lot of graded earnings and if he can hit the board at Keeneland he can at the very least be used like Danthebluegrassman to exclude another horse out.

Isn't Gemologist and El Padrino on the borderline when it comes to earnings?

El Padrino is 11th with $200,000, so he'd basically just need to finish 2nd in the Fla Derby, but 3rd would be more than enough.

Gemologist is 25th with just over 103k. He needs to run at least 2nd in the Wood to get a spot.

Thanks. The Risen Star has a bigger purse than I thought.
