Byk has 30 hours in a day, I would almost guarantee that he will have it updated by about 7pm CST

I would consider the following 3 horses questionable:
Salute the Sarge (finished 7th in the Lexington),
Eight Belles (would be the favorite in the Oaks),
Behindatthebar (the owner was interviewed on TVG after the race and was not committal about the Derby -- the horse ran back today after 16 days and would come back to the Derby in 14 days and has questionable dirt form based on his 5th place finish in the El Camino Real).

Bob Black Jack makes the field if one of the above 3 defect or an injury occurs to another horse.

Denis of Cork (who I would love to see Calvin Borel on for the Derby at high odds) makes the field if 2 of the above 3 defect or if one of the above defects and an injury occurs to another horse on the list.

Thanks yo

Julien Leparoux has picked up the mount on Cool Coal Man per the DRF.

That sucks. . . I was hoping for Cornelio now that WP is out. . .

I hope BBJ gets in. His last race showed me something about him and I want to see more or find out if he is just a sprinter, I am thinking he may not be.

I think the last race showed he isnt just a sprinter. And switching to dirt imo would be more beneficial to his running style. He is a better horse when he makes the lead, not when he sits just right off it. I'd like to see this horse get sent to the lead in the Derby. At 15/1 or higher, there are definetely worst stabs in this race, especially now that his chief rival War Pass is out. I also like the fact Solis was so eager to committ to this horse 3 weeks prior to the Derby, instead of playing the waiting game and shopping around, if you will. Lots to like.

Thanks mbahadur for the quick posting of the list...

Salute the Sarge now 99% out, so make it like this with both fillies highly questionable and assuming Behindathebar goes:

Spent a good part of the a.m. today with David Carroll, and Denis of Cork who works 5/8ths tomorrow at 8:30 and looks terrific physically. Carroll is cautiously optimistic about the chances of Denis running and is still rather irked about having had his plan interfered with by Mike Ryan and Mark Reid.

I wish Denis of Cork could make the trip. He's the only live futures wager I have left.:confused:

Don't forget about Massive Drama

AW..

Not coming according to Haskin from Zayat's stable manager guy. (Zabu or whatever they call him). Derby Trial and Woody Stephens intended. That's as of yesterday... (And seems especially probable given that Halo could very likely get in with an injury/defection or two..)

Thank god...

Steve: Any word form David Carroll about who would ride Denis of Cork should he get in the Derby field ? Albarado and Leparoux are already committed to other mounts.

:D

Poor Denis :(
I'm really pulling for him to make it in. He's not my favorite Derby horse, but I like him...my preference is no fillies to enter this year....please!
Not optomistic about that at all, however.

Well, Calvin Borel will be on board for the work tomorrow... ;)

Darn, I was hoping for Brian Hernandez, Jr. or Orlando Mojica. :D

NT

I don't think this question has been answered, will the owners for sure send Denis of Cork if he can get in? I would have no problem using him at 30-1, would seem like a similiar Bluegrass Cat choice.

You don't think the question has been answered? Am I writing in Sanscrit?

that's why I'm confused.
