2012 Triple Crown Trail: 11 try to deny I'll Have Another

Castaway would be a fine addition to the Derby field.

It could be quite a dogfight for 20th.

He'd have to win to get in, which is a longshot to happen, even against those killers.

What's the purse distribution for the Jerome? 1st place, anyways.

[Gate Dancer]

THE JEROME
$200,000
(Grade II)
(Up to $34,000 NYSBFOA)
FOR THREE YEAR OLDS No nomination fee. $2,000 to pass the entry box. A supplemental nomination fee of $2,000 in addition to the entry fee may be made at any time prior to the closing of entries. All starters will receive a $1,500 rebate. The purse to be divided 60% to the winner, 20% to second, 10% to third, 5% to fourth, 3% to fifth and 2% divided equally among the remaining finishers.

Looks like:

1st= $120,000
2nd= $40,000
3rd= $20,000
4th= $5,000

Any word on some of the entries for the undercard? I saw where shack was pointing toward the derby undercard. Any others that we know of?

Could get interesting with Sat Races

If Stirred Up wins the Jerome he is at 216,000 right behind Reveron

If Castaway wins the Lexington he is IN and if he comes in 2nd he is at 202,000 right behind Reveron,Morgan's Guerilla wins he is tied with Reveron at 220,000 but loses the Tie Breaker and News Pending wins he is at 200,000 which is behind Reveron

Doubtful that we get any defections beside Rousing Sermon which would make Reveron #20(unless Castaway wins,which would make El Padrino #20),if Secret Circle and Liaison both go

I wonder what Baffert would do if Stirred Up and Castaway are #21 and #22 with Secret Circle and Liaison only possible!!!!

According to DRF.com

Secret Circle is out of the Derby-gonna get tests tho for something??

He prolly has that same liver disease as Mo last year,you know the one which symptoms include inability to get 1 1/4

[Danzig]

tough morning for the baffert barn. wonder what precautionary tests they're doing on secret circle? supposedly no surgery needed.... that coupled with the princess arabella retirement news-an odd morning.

With all due respect, that's an ill-advised editorialization. (And I'm being kind). Not running Secret Circle in the Derby is a praise-worthy decision, not one to be derided.

No I totally agree with u,I was just making a joke of the "tests" part is all.

I wish they would just say he can't get the distance so we are gonna rest him for the summer sprints is all. Instead we get he is out of the derby and we are gonna run tests??

Yeah, and Mo was not legitimately compromised.
