Anyone know the intentions of Indian Sun, Tomcito, My Pal Charlie, and Hey Byrn? Do they intend to run if they get in or are they already pointing elsewhere? If the fillies don't go, and Behindatthebar doesn't we are just one defection away from one of those horses getting in.

My Pal Charlie is being pointed to the Lone Star Derby, connections stated there would have to be at least five defections from the Ky Derby for them to consider

Yeah, if neither filly enters and Behindatthebar doesn't go then those two would be in and the next defection would mean one of those others would be able to get in if they wanted to.

Kinda makes me sad that Bob Black Jack may not make the field if some idiots join. He impressed me in his last race. I may have put some money on him...

I'll say this, if Denis of Cork gets in, you have a much better shot then I would.

Honestly though, and this might be nuts, but I might use Anak for 3rd and 4th if I get involved in those types of wagers, I haven't seen his pattern but it has to be forward moving, and while his races have been questionable, he at least is making moves and he is bred for 10 panels

I have absolutely no clue about this year, it is so bad that even I can't have an opinion, and I usually have an opinion on everything

He also ran his only semi-decent race at Churchill. At this point if you have any horse that you think can get 10 furlongs and could step up and run a 95 Beyer you have to take the shot. You'll never see another $2 million race where a 95 Beyer could get you in the money. If nothing else it assures Zito of one less pace horse for War Pass to contend with.

And honestly, I think that might be the ploy here, keeps Bob's Blackjack with the insane idea of putting blinkers on this horse. Talk about tinkering with something at the wrong time.
