Does anyone know for sure the plans for this guy ? Someone earlier said he just worked down at keenland, but they werent sure where hes running, the last i herd was he was going to the derby off one prep, which would be the bluegrass, this seems like a crazy idea but this guy is definitly talented, and if he does go to the bluegrass, maybe he can get enough out of it to get a peice on derby day, thats if those are still the plans. I have him as my super sleeper, im hoping he runs in the bluegrass it would be very intresting

right now he doesn't have the $$ to go to the derby...he will have to WIN a graded race soon if he is to have any chance of even entering.

Thanks for that, i was wondering. I got him in my derby stable. From what i recall, he is a Poly track loving fool. and Biancone was only playing in LALA land.

i think he could possibly run 1-2 in the bluegrass which would give him enough for the derby

well i read over a month ago the biancone was training him up to the bluegrass, and that would be his only prep for the derby, now i only posted this to see if anyone knew if that was true or not.... my reassons for him being able to possibly run 1-2 are, great connections, he loves poly, hes obviously very talented and his last race where he got beat he had problems, and stormello has ran huge since, biancone needs a derby horse. i mean there are alot of reassons why he could run big, he won first time out with alot of problems, then he beat notional so i think if he's healthy he has alot going for him, personally i wouldnt try to make the derby with him but thats just me

He had a very legitimate excuse that day as he was sick. This horse is the goods. I just hope that he didn't have an injury on top of the sickness.

based off of what i have seen, and read i am saying that i think he can run 1-2, biancone will have to have him cranked if not he could actually miss the derby because of graded earnings

the horse is also very well intended, has been pounded at the window everytime out including first time, and once again he has already beat notional

i agree with you there, once again thats why i posted this to see if anyone knew for sure what the plans are. in previous posts i stated i hope he dosent rush and try to make the derby, but i did read that they will work him up to the bluegrass, run there and then go straight to the derby
