The far turn could get ugly if Flashpoint and The Factor both make it to the Derby gate.

Flashpoint making the Derby is the worst thing in the world for The Factor - I agree.

Then there's this little gem: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...wale-challenge

By Pomeroy out of a Two Punch mare w/2 G2 7 furlong races going up to the Derby. Sounds like a plan to me. Even if they feel he can stretch out, it's hard to see how the lack of seasoning wouldn't cause him to hit a wall. He's also nominated to the Florida Derby and Wood Memorial, but it doesn't look like they want any part of the FD field, especially. I guess they're going to the Swale and hoping for the best on the graded stakes earnings at this point. I'm still not clear on the winner's share of that race.

I read a little farther down the Brisnet link and looks like Dutrow's dubbed This One's for Phil one of his BFFs. It's kind of sweet how attached he is to that gelding.
