Practical Joke to run in Blue Grass
David Grening Practical Joke will skip Saturday's Grade 1, $1 million Florida Derby and instead run in the Grade 2, $1 million Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland on April 8, trainer Chad Brown said. "The horse will benefit from an extra week," Brown said. Joel Rosario will ride Practical Joke in the Blue Grass.

Battalion Runner re-routed; Wood and Ark Derby now in play
Dave Grening Battalion Runner will not compete in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby on April 8, and his options now include the Grade 2 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct the same day, and the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn on April 15, trainer Todd Pletcher said on Tuesday. Battalion Runner will be entered on Wednesday in the Florida Derby on Saturday at Gulfstream Park, but he is not an intended runner. Pletcher will run Always Dreaming, whose ownership overlaps with Battalion Runner. The only way Battalion Runner would run would be if something unforseen happened to Always Dreaming between now and Saturday. Pletcher is based at Palm Beach Downs in south Florida for the winter. He said the decision to bypass the Santa Anita Derby came because of an expected large field, plus a cross-country ship. Pletcher also has One Liner under consideration for both the Wood Memorial and Arkansas Derby. Malagacy is definitely going to the Arkansas Derby, he said. Both Battalion Runner and One Liner are scheduled to work this weekend, after which final decisions on their next starts will be made.

El Areeb injured, off the Derby trail
Dave Grening Multiple graded stakes winner El Areeb came out of a workout Wednesday at Laurel Park with an injury to his right knee and is off the Kentucky Derby trail, per trainer Cal Lynch. The horse will undergo surgery on Monday at New Bolton Center in Pennsylvania. “It’s the right knee, there’s a chip and maybe a slab [fracture],” Lynch said Thursday. El Areeb won the Jerome and Withers – both Grade 3 races at Aqueduct – and finished third in the Gotham. He was being pointed to the Grade 2, $750,000 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct on April 8.

That has to be the least talented Santa Anita Derby I can recall.
