Might want to add XCHANGER to the list.
I saw his win at Pimlico in the Tesio yesterday and he looked pretty sharp in getting it done. His owners want to go - Shuman, prior to yesterday, felt he was a cut below. The Tesio might have changed his mind, assuming the horse comes back from the race ok. I don't think the effort took anything out of him because he was an easy handride the last 1/8th. If Ramon is available to ride, I think you'll see him the first Sat in May.

I was worried that there was a 'real' issue with CircQuay when Pletcher passed on the Wood, but his subsequent works say he's fine. The effort in the Louisiana Derby was a huge career best, and the chances of him running back to it with a race in the interim weren't good. Pletcher is well aware of how much time it takes a horse to recover from an effort like that, and I also understand thatr Angel Cordero was pushing to skip the Wood. Basically I'm more concerned about the pace set-up not being to Circular Quay's advantage than I am about the 8 weeks... Sam P. is a 'nice' horse that really hasn't moved forward at all at three. He was too close to the Santa Anita Derby pace to be effective and think he'll get his run in Derby Day. And remember that Ramon Dominguez rode Bluegrass Cat last year and gets the call on Sam P. I'd guess his best races come later in the year and would say he is a use in the Derby only on the bottom of the widest trifecta and superfecta plays. As for Lol Lol Lol, the less we say here the better if we expect to pull off the betting coup we are all hoping for with him... her... it...

VERY happy to see Matz doing the right thing by the horse.
 Love him.I would also love to see Slew's Tizzy take a shot at the Preakness and not run back in two weeks. He is a beauty and I don't want him ruined. I would also like to have them try him on the grass...

Steve is busy, so i'll answer about "lol lol lol" I saw him work the other day. looked GREAT on the track. Worked a mile in 1 minute 29 seconds flat in hand with his regular exercise rider G.F. Yokum, Jr. ( nickname GFY ) His coat was dappled, a fine animal indeed. The owners say they will skip the derby and train right up to the Breeder's Cup Classic where he should be installed as the 2:5 ML Favorite ahead of In- va - soooor.
