How is the Mystical Derby even on the list? Triple Crown winner to Canterbury Park for an ungraded 200k race on Aug 29th, the same day as the Travers seems like 999-1 rather than 20-1.

Canterbury is definitely out. They'd have to sacrifice their entire meet to lure him. However, I can't fault them for injecting themselves into the mix and bringing some attention to their racing. A good PR guy there is drumming up some attention for them. Parx is going to make a real play for him and I think they'll likely get him. Haskell and PA Derby. I think Materialiy may go in the Jim Dandy and Travers, Frosted will run in the Travers and Baffert may sent Dortmund to the Travers. Not a lot to beat there for a lot of money. AP get $300K for just showing up at Parx. More if he wins the Haskell and they bump that up. Plus the purse. I think they'll probably make it worth close to $1 mil to show up and $2 mil to win at Parx. Hard to ignore. Dortmund may run in the Los Al Derby with Firing Line, but I think they'll keep the latter out there.
