Since there's no thread started for the Battaglia Memorial today at Turfway, there's a lot of horses that have potential to move forward via this race. Like a lot of the ALW winners that have been entered in the Southwest and Risen Star should've been entered in here as a litmus test before trying a major prep. Seems like a good test race for a lot of these to see if they go for a major prep later this month/next month.

The one that sticks out to me the most is Poker Player. Catalano has kept him mainly on turf, but with that breeding, I think he could really do damage going long on dirt.

What has been the typical pattern for the derby winner? Two preps in the current year followed by derby? Maybe I'm just losing it but it sure seems like alot of the bigger names are way behind

not much info out there. this was a recent article, but based on probable entries in the races they were pointing him to, the cold was a bigger setback than anticipated.


oh, just found this:


Baffert said his undefeated San Pedro Stakes winner Indianapolis had a setback and was sick after the race, so he backed off on his training. He's just been jogging, and Baffert said he's made no plans yet and is not going to rush him.
