I just hope he goes.

Saez won on him back in December but I'd have been fine with Garcia too.

Hell Calzone Lord could ride him and I'd still give him a very good chance.

@KennyMcPeek will let AR Derby runner up Frac Daddy dance with the one who brought him, as Victor Lebron retains mount for @KentuckyDerby..

Unless he is guaranteed a start in the KY Derby by Wednesday, Tiz a Minister will be entered in the Snow Chief stakes at Hollywood on Saturday. Even if the horse runs next weekend, the connections aren't ruling out a Derby start if he gets in after that point.

Baffert refuses to rule Den's Legacy out for Derby, so he's back on the list and Ken Ramsey's kickin' and screamin'..

Has there been any speculation if Baffert decides to run one or two currently undecided from his camp on jockeys?

pletcher says he will decide on winning cause in the derby after the colt breezes sunday. would be something if he had about 1/3 of the field and still didn't win.

steve-

by virtue of his two 3rd place finishes during the two year old "prep season" (frontrunner and bc juvi), capo bastone would actually leapfrog charming kitten into 19th place if he wins the trial. he carries 4 points into that race.

has pletcher ruled him out a week later?

Welsch talked to Pletcher Thursday and was told they wouldn't go Derby with Capo Bastone if were to win the Trial. Also said Winning Cause is highly unlikely for Derby too.

So the only horse not on the grounds is Lines of Battle?
When is he due to arrive, and what is their thinking behind bringing him in so late??
Also, is O'Brien bringing anyone else along for the undercard stakes?
