geez
per drf.com....three month layoff into the Derby???????
Homeboykris training up to Kentucky Derby Dutrow said his other top 3-year-old, Homeboykris, will train up to the Kentucky Derby. Winner of the Champagne Stakes last fall and third-place finisher in the Remsen, Homeboykris's only race this year was a second-place finish to Radiohead in a Feb. 27 allowance race. "I'm not going to run him back until then because I'm afraid he'll blow his race," Dutrow said. "The first time we run him it was off a three-month break, and he ran huge."

Dutrow can't actually think this horse wants a mile and a quarter, especially running off a 3-month layoff in a 20 horse field.

Dutrow could start a goat in the Derby and it would probably be less than 90/1.
Heck, if IEAH buys the goat - and Borel rides the goat - and Dutrow tells reporters "This is the best goat I've ever trained..I might go all in, babe" .. I think you're looking at about only a 12/1 shot. A few columnists might even pick it to win the race ... but a lack of dapples and a very weak 5th generation pedigree is sure to keep it from replacing Interactif and Awesome Act from the respective 3rd and 4th spots they currently hold in the 'Haskin's Derby Dozen' top 12 list.

Tom Albertrani just said on ATR that another option for Odysseus is the Street Sense approach to Derby via the Blue Grass. He said while he isn't a fan of racing on synthetics, the benefit is a single ship to Kentucky rather than one to NY for Wood and then a second one to KY for Derby. They are also seriously considering traing Odysseus up to the Derby without another start.
