Jack Junior Less Likely for Derby Now. But the Preakness may be in his sights. Eamonn Connolly, racing manager for owner Roldvale Limited, told British Racing Post that Britain's 2000 Guineas remains a possibility for Jack Junior (Worth Watching), but he is also being considered for the Preakness, the second jewel of America's Triple Crown.

"He's an exciting horse to have. The Guineas may be a bit early for him, and although it is expensive to go there, the Preakness is a bit later and we know he handles the dirt."--Eamonn Connolly

Jack Junior finished second in Saturday's Group 2 UAE Derby in just his third overall start, and his first this year. He earned $400,000 for the effort.

And now we read about CQ. The bottom of the list looks a little better. Chelokee gets a bit closer.

we dont know for sure yet about CQ and there are more preps to be run, the santa anita derby is very very weak a longshot could win that race and come from out of nowhere and make the starting gate, i think tiago will run huge in the santa anita derby... i guess my point is, i think chelokee is a huge longshot to make the starting gate at this point

I dont know about huge, but longshot yes. Nonetheless I think the CQ news puts him a bit closer. I would agree with the other posters that something is wrong and they are hoping some significant problem gets better. Preps are preparations for the Derby I believe.

I dislike Scat Daddy

but the SD horse keeps beating me

Aint that the truth. I have never really cared for him but the sucker keeps running good races. Kinda hard to knock one that keeps winning.
