The Arkansas Derby will be broadcast live on ESPN. It will also be part of a national pick four with the Blue Grass and Commonwealth at Keeneland and the $75,000 Instant Racing at Oaklawn.

I have a wacky notion... Wait until they draw the Commonwealth and Instant Racing fields and THEN start structuring tickets. And singling Elysium Fields, if he runs, 2 weeks after his boiler nearly exploded, would be highly risky. I'm stunned that Tagg is considering it in fact after Robin Smullen's comments post-FL Derby. A heat prostration episode like he had saps a horse. He worked yesterday with Big Truck, so you'll get some answers today. Barclay was a no-show yesterday on ATR so I'll try to get him today.

Robin Smullen made it sound bad... 105 degree temp... 4 hours to cool out, etc..

Supposed to rain Wed, Thurs, Friday in Lexington, then Saturday cool (50's) and partly cloudy, no rain.

Consider that the 2-yr-old training babies are running in the 10's on the poly yesterday - I doubt it will be different for Saturday, especially with the rain keeping it tight.
