pletcher says he will decide on winning cause in the derby after the colt breezes sunday. would be something if he had about 1/3 of the field and still didn't win.

steve-

by virtue of his two 3rd place finishes during the two year old "prep season" (frontrunner and bc juvi), capo bastone would actually leapfrog charming kitten into 19th place if he wins the trial. he carries 4 points into that race.

has pletcher ruled him out a week later?

Welsch talked to Pletcher Thursday and was told they wouldn't go Derby with Capo Bastone if were to win the Trial. Also said Winning Cause is highly unlikely for Derby too.

So the only horse not on the grounds is Lines of Battle?
When is he due to arrive, and what is their thinking behind bringing him in so late??
Also, is O'Brien bringing anyone else along for the undercard stakes?
