If Hull is confirmed, I really like him in this spot at first glance.

I think Mine That Bird will repeat simply because everyone is dismissing him again. That and this 3 year old crop is suspect not on ability, but desire to win.

I'm starting to think that also. In the form on Derby day on that page that they analyze the horses it said something like

Mine that Bird : with all the top horses in this race, the bottom feeders are really weak, like this one, no chance

and the other guy wrote : he'll most likely make someone happy as he's the favorite to finish last..

then of course what was said on this site..

Pretty much think if all this dissing keeps up he's a shoe in for the win..

FYI... Have to get my Preakness analysis in today (!?!?), and based on communication I received last night, it looks like TAKE THE POINTS is running... Not 100% confirmed, but the info likely comes from the Pimlico racing office.

Not coming. Zito said he didn't like the short turnaround.

Pointing for Belmont instead. Came out of Derby in good shape.

General Quarters has committed.

If McCarthy hurries, he can maybe run Saturday in the Lone Star Derby too. They're going to have to drag him out of the spotlight... with his teeth marks on it.

Why aren't we saying the same thing about Stute, Lukas, Ryan, Baffert or Jones? It's OK for all of them to run back in two weeks, but not McCarthy? I'd do the same thing with my one horse, as long as he was sound.

No, it used to be run on Preakness Day, but last year they moved it to the week before. I'm guessing because trainers didn't like only having three weeks before the Belmont.
