supposedly nicky's boy is pointed to the ark derby, but the trainer was unable to get licenses here-which is probably a good thing!

No problem. Haskin was talking about him last night and this really is a surprise because Lukas had been talking Lexington.. He's a pretty nice horse too, and doesn't need much money to squeeze someone else out...

EDIT: He has $127,000... Risen Star and Lanes' End money. $100,000 for 3rd gets him to about 17th/18th.

I was wrong about the money when it came up in February. It's remarkable how much it is going to take to make the field this year...

I agree he has some fast numbers....If he gets in, he hampers Sidney in a big way. IMO.

Sindey's Candy has no chance anyway...I'd book all the money I could on Sidney's Candy with other no hopers like Rule, Super Saver, and such in there, Sidney's Candy is a good candidate for the last place trifecta with Dean's Kitten and one of the Pletcher runners.

Especially if he runs as well as a 12th start off the layoff 3-year-old usually does in the Derby.

Aikenite to try Derby Trial instead of Derby
By Jay Privman

Aikenite, who finished eighth of nine in the Blue Grass Stakes on Saturday at Keeneland, will be wheeled back in the Grade 3, $200,000 Derby Trial at Churchill Downs on April 24, but he is not going to be considered for the Kentucky Derby one week later, Cot Campbell, the president of the Dogwood Stables partnership that owns Aikenite, said Wednesday.

"Our colt's reversal of form in the Blue Grass has made the Kentucky Derby an illogical move, but we are - after exhaustive postrace tests that show the colt to be in perfect health - going to draw a line through the Blue Grass and wheel Aikenite back in the one-mile Derby Trial Stakes," Campbell said in a press release issued by Dogwood. "The Blue Grass was puzzling in that three of the favorites ran in the last three spots. The horse that won it, Stately Victor, a 40-1 shot, had been defeated by Aikenite by seven lengths in their only previous encounter.

"The synthetic tracks have proven to be unpredictable in form and for all of these reasons we're going to 'throw the race out,' regroup, and go again - although without any thoughts of the grueling Kentucky Derby on May 1," Campbell said. "The Blue Grass is the only truly bad race Aikenite has run," Campbell added, "and we're certainly not giving up on him."

Eightyfiveinafifty hopes Trial takes him to Derby
By David Grening

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - So much still has to happen for Eightyfiveinafifty to make it into the starting gate for the Kentucky Derby, but the speedy colt took one small step toward that goal on Wednesday with another typically fast workout at Aqueduct that kept him on target for the Grade 3 Derby Trial at Churchill Downs on April 24.

With former jockey Nick Santagata in the irons - and barely moving a muscle - Eightyfiveinafifty worked five furlongs in 58.09 seconds Wednesday morning over Aqueduct's main track. He did drift a little in the stretch while galloping out six furlongs in 1:12.

Eightyfiveinafifty was scheduled to leave for Louisville, Ky., on Thursday afternoon and will work one time over the Churchill Downs main track next week in preparation for the one-mile Derby Trial. Should Eightyfiveinafifty win the $200,000 Derby Trial, he could accrue enough graded stakes earnings to crack the 20-horse field for the Kentucky Derby a week later. The first-place purse of $120,000 would double his graded earnings to $240,000 which, as of Wednesday, would put him 21st on the earnings list. Though the Derby field is limited to 20 runners, two candidates ahead of Eightyfiveinafifty - Noble's Promise and Interactif - are 50-50 or less to run.

"The Derby is not out of the question until he says it is," trainer Gary Contessa said Wednesday, referring to Eightyfiveinafifty. "I'll have a pretty good idea when he hits the wire of the Derby Trial where we're at."

A pace meltdown might not be the only meltdown that occurs if he enters.
