Saratoga Red was training lights out up until that race. I had him and Fusa Code on my P4/DBL and P3... My first of many heartbreaks on Derby day.

I'm not sure where you are going with this. I said 4-1 was a bad bet on AK in the TC. And I was planning to play against MMM. Losing a 4-1 shot will hurt the odds of the others. So, what exactly are you asking?

You'd think the performances of Midnight Interlude and Comma To The Top would have scared him off.

If they really want to be part of the big time, they could have sent him to Kentucky when he was on the bubble for the Derby and used the American Turf as an alternate spot, kinda like Setsuko last year.

No shame in running second to Banned.
He is a turf horse, I hope they just stay at HP.

I guess with Frankel opting for the St. James Palace instead of the Derby he had to go to Plan B.

It sure looks like a lot of pace lined up for this one. Shackleford, Flashpoint and Dance City are all confirmed front end runners and since I have not reviewed all the pps there could be more. As long as he doesn't react to coming back in two weeks AK should sit in the second tier and even if they don't back up to him he has shown he can outclose this group. The question is wheather or not Dialed In will be close enough to make an impact. In the KD he closed in under :24 in each of the last two quarters but was way too far away. Given the "kit gloves" way he has been handled I'd be concerned about him coming back in two weeks also.

RE: Mucho Macho Man...

Any further word? Just read Grening/Privman notes, no mention of bypassing the Preakness?

Kathy Ritvo said the internet report was wrong. They're still pointing for Preakness.

Zayat will fly to Louisville to watch Nehro work Monday morning and then decide whether to ship to Baltimore.

Oy vey. Hey Ahmed, here's a wacky, nutty idea... How about you leave that up to Asmussen and Blasi?
