Justify to Oaklawn seems likely. But I’ll trust whatever move that guy makes.

I would think he keeps Justify at SA and ships MAC out. Mac already is in and has more seasoning, Baffert calls audibles all the time so you really never know until he does.

right after the DQ, ( the way I understood the statement on TVG ) Baffert said McKinzie is not racing at SA again before the Derby

Peace(Mandella) Mandella seems to have a lot of faith in this one. Especially going off of two weeks. |

Just one man’s take but I went from very uninspired about the Kentucky Derby to frothing out of the mouth for it to come.
Seemingly overnight. I don’t know if it has anything (or all) to do with Justify’s emergence to the scene or if it was the stretch drive between Bolt & McKinzie. Just seems with each passing weekend lately, i’ve grown more fond for this crop as a whole. All i know is that all of a sudden, I caught a major case of the Derby Fever. It’s on a much smaller scale than the type that owners of hopeless longshot’s sometimes catch. My top 5 as of today’s snow day: 1) Good Magic 2) Bolt D’Oro 3) McKinzie 4) Justify 5) Greyvitos

You can always count on some dreck to fill up the field.

I imagine the folks at Keenland will be watching this race quite closely. It might not be a reach to think that Promises Fulfilled & Mississippi fill in 2/3rds of the trifecta Saturday.

Was able to snap a close-up of Mendelssohn in the parade ring. Beautiful animal.

I think Baffert sending Restoring Hope to the Wood probably says enough about the race.
The fact that he’ll be under 5-1... |

Tenfold's another Curlin? And Combatant's another Scat Daddy? It's been quite a year for both on the Derby trail, and it's only April. Just makes you all the more disgusted that we lost Scat Daddy so young. Thrilled for Curlin to have all this success. He really earned his way and they believed in and supported him. Quite an accomplishment. I realize these two colts are unlikely to get in the KD field, it's just that it's a testament to the embarrassment of riches we've got going on with both stallions' offspring so far.
