Secret Oath needs several Derby horses to not enter the Preakness, which has happened in the past when a Derby winner has been impressive, but I doubt Rich Strike will really scare them off.

Asmussen had a real rough weekend as it turns. ECHO ZULO came prepared and wound up in a speed duel, she got beat about 3 lengths. EPICENTER drew as bad as he could draw, ran a monster race and got aced at the wire. i don't know about the filly, but EPICENTER is not done with this triple crown series.
