Don't forget High Heels on that list now -- around $175K if memory serves.

One more potential step for Chelokee.

Stormello is going I think. Hard Spun is iffy.

[eajinabi]

I am crossing my fingers that Chelokee will get in.

rags to riches?

i think tabor could roll the dice if their other's don't make it. i wonder about circular quay. just odd that they took the long break to the derby. anyone else think there might be a soundness issue?

As long as Cobalt Blue is in one piece, Merv will not pass this opportunity up.

Ketchikan, injured

Reporting for Duty - Lone Star Derby 5/12

[fpsoxfan]

Even though Stormello has earned his right to get in the Derby..I would love to see this horse run in the Preakness. That track would better fit his speed.

Depending on what happens this weekend, is there a chance that we'll actually have less than 20 horses in the gate on 5/5?

Being that 7 of the top 20 are either out or on the fence, and several of the horses between 21 and 30 are either looking elsewhere or unlikely to run even if they do have the earnings, I think it might be possible.

I think the past couple years have proved that if you don't have a horse with a legitimate chance to win, it's better to not ruin him and pick a better spot down the road. Anyone see Point Determined, Bob and John, Seaside Retreat, Sharp Humor, Steppenwolfer or Private Vow run a good race since before the derby last year?

And yes, it looks like Chelokee will have no problem getting in.
