Well, it is no surprise...and what a shame...not to have a good colt like this run in the Derby just makes me sad...plus, I was really looking foward to Baffert and Cannani 'duken' it out'...they would have been a really funny side show. I feel sad for the Solis's and Julio...damn:(

near the Dunkirk stall?? The Dunkirk connections had a miracle weekend. No one new moved into the top 20 to my knowledge, and two (Pamplemousse and IC) are likely out or are out of the KD.

giant oak moved into top 20 $169,256.

Dunkirk is sitting about 18th or 19th and in trouble.

The Blue grass is going to be very telling as far as the earnings list.

Charitalbe Man -is tied with Dunkirk w/$150K top 5 finish will move him up
Gen Quarters- needs only finish in top 4 to pass dunkirk
Hello Broadway _a 1st or 2nd he will pass dunkirk
Patena - 1st or 2nd to pass Dunkirk


Dunkirk fans route for Terrain and Hold me back for the top 2 spots

Isn't that horse from Europe, the win & your in colt, going in the Bluegrass...what IF he takes part of the purse...what then for OUR colts?

[sam i am]

Yes, you are correct. Mafaaz is scheduled for the BG also.

if that horse runs in the top 2 or 3 w/Terrain and Hold me Back the others don't fire... charitable man/Gen quarter not in top 4 ??? maybe Dunkirk could get in. then you have the 1million $ Ark to deal with ... good luck with that.

I just don't like Mafaaz, in this spot, leaning towards Terrain and Charitable Man...with Hello Broadway.

[joanied]

I don't like Mafazz at all...and just read Theregoesjojo may run in the Blue Grass...that'll add something to the mix. And yep...the AK Derby will have a huge say in who gets in and who don't.

I would like to see PATENA get in, that would put both of my futures bets in. PATENA and FRIESIAN FIRE

[point given]

There are several horses in the top 20 who probably will not run and even those who have more money might not do it just to show up in the race .
