Thought he was Rebel bound.
Good. Let the Denis of Dork wave keep rising to tsunami status.

I'm sure Zayat is making him run. Mott would never do something this foolish. I won't be surprised when he scratches.
Though, maybe Mott's good friend BBB can get the real scoop.

It is especially baffling since the horse already has the earnings to get in the Derby field. If they wanted to do something stupid with him they could just take the Turf War route and send him to the Borderland Derby where no real Derby contenders will be and go straight to the Derby from there.

It feels like Mr. Zayat wants to be represented in all big races. That will work well for him over time.

Remember James McIngvale (Mattress Mac) who used to have horses with Baffert (and a lot of other trainers)? He used to want to call the shots--I think he once ran During in a sprint because he saw him win it "in a dream." Usually it just isn't smart for owners to get too proactive.

He'll be fine.
8 days rest is plenty.

He may be OK to run physically, but on paper this is easily the deepest and toughest field for a derby prep so far. Not sure why he would be so adament in running against this 12-horse field.

Also note that Anxious Ahmed is shoving Halo Jajib into this as well after Romans made it clear he was looking to the Lne's End after the OBS win 13 days ago...

These are type of guys that are used to having anything and everything they want, at the snap of their fingers. Then when they get in a game that requires the patience of Job they lose their minds.
You would never see Bob Lewis making these kind of stupid decisions. You hire the best trainers and get out of thier way.

Z Humor is strategic move. In the money finish keeps another horse from gaining graded earnings. He may not win but could easily run in top 4 spots. Also, running back on less rest is very old school. I agree with earlier post here -- let's see if he actually gets in starting gate.
