Generally, it's a good sign when other trainers start ducking your horse, and look for another race. Good Magic has the breeding and credentials, but it's hard for me to take less than 20-1 or so on a future bet.
I've got a couple of micro wagers on Enticed in pools 1 and 2, and on Sunday checked out pool 3 and was surprised to see he'd been dropped. Favorite in the Holy Bull runs 4th, and gets dropped from the future pool? With his Gotham win, he now has the second most points for a Derby starter. I would guess he'll be back in pool 4, with his next start on the same weekend in the Wood. He got a nice set up, and grinded along for the win in the Gotham, and didn't strike me as being nimble enough for a Derby win, but I can always hope. What Enticed looks like to me is a possible spoiler in the Belmont, assuming he finishes mid-pack in the Derby, and skips the Preakness.
Of course that scenario doesn't bode well for my future bets....
