Got off the phone w/ John Fort a little while ago. He said that there was a chance that Flashpoint could win the Florida Derby and not go to Kentucky. I think it'd be extremely hard to make that decision, but I would applaud it if for nothing else it's refreshing realisticness. He thinks he could get an advantageous pace scenario at GP because everyone might be afraid to run with him, but doesn't think the same could ever happen in the KY Derby.
