Are you beginning to believe in Buffy's Tiznow baby? I really hope he does win the derby. Would be SWEET for Tiznow to have a Derby winner.

Steve, according to today's DRF, Imawild is at Calder and will be shipped to Kentucky early next week if he's going to run in the Derby:

Trainer Bill Kaplan said Monday that he is taking a wait-and-see attitude with Imawildandcrazyguy, who is still at Calder in Florida.

"We're still planning to run in the Derby if it looks like we can get in, but because of the current situation regarding graded earnings and where we stand on the list, I'm also going to enter him in the Unbridled Stakes at Calder for Saturday," Kaplan said. "We'll then have several days to monitor the situation before making a final decision. We can always scratch Saturday and ship him to Kentucky early next week if it looks like he will get into the Derby field."

Is Jack Junior being pointed to the derby? I didn't think he was but thedowneyprofile.com still has him on their earnings list and they've been taking horses off that have been confirmed to be off the trail. . .

Might want to add XCHANGER to the list.

I saw his win at Pimlico in the Tesio yesterday and he looked pretty sharp in getting it done. His owners want to go - Shuman, prior to yesterday, felt he was a cut below. The Tesio might have changed his mind, assuming the horse comes back from the race ok. I don't think the effort took anything out of him because he was an easy handride the last 1/8th.

If Ramon is available to ride, I think you'll see him the first Sat in May.

If Xchanger goes in the Derby it will be the owners forcing it and over the objections of Shuman. Here he is Friday with me on ATRAB:

And Dominguez has committed to Pletcher on Sam P.
