You'd think they'd have first hand knowledge that it's OK to run in more than 2 preps and even lose one or two prior to Churchill. Given some of the recent winners of the race, we've seemed to have entered the era of "Surprise! You've Just Won The Kentucky Derby!"

The Derby has become nothing more than a glorified NW3 allowance race with random results.

I can understand if you are in a situation like Gemologist, where you don't have the earnings so you want to look for the softest spot to get the earnings to get in. When you are already guaranteed a spot, I would think it's more important to stick as close to a training/racing schedule as possible. I've never had a good feeling about horses that have to have their preparations altered.

This is 100% Dr. Hansen and it's no different than Repole wanting to win races like the Wood and the other big NY circuit standards. Hell, Hansen -- who lives in No. KY on the river -- wanted to run in the Spiral this week. Maker accomodating and certainly can't mind having to only 'ship' from Churchill Training Center to KEE.

The synthetic-to-dirt move worked last fall for Hansen, so I don't blame them for recreating that setup. Just like Street Sense. But is this particular decision being made with those types of considerations in mind?

Plus I think he is hoping Keeneland will let him color the horses mane and tail...  I'm glad he is running there. My price on Dullahan just doubled.
