9 in, only 5 more can be entered as the limit is, I believe, 14.

It was announced yesterday that Mr. Fantasy is being pointed to the Met Mile and not the Preakness.

The Woody Stevens for 3yos is also a possibility for Mr Fantasy.Connections believe he is best suited to a one turn mile.

You know Pioneer was my pick for the Derby, but do you not think he is tired? While I thought I was a winner, I wasn't impressed with much about this derby --- although this IS a game and gritty horse. If they had come in at 2:04 I wonder what the Beyer would have been ...
I might be looking elsewhere ...

If I remember correctly, I read that QRs connections weren't pointing him towards any of the TC races.

On the confirmed list...I don't think the last three belong...on the possibles list...4 of them do not ring a bell for me...Miner's Escape, Conservative, Sky Gate & Tone it Down...
some of these on both lists need to drop out to make way for some of the better horses, IMHO...
and now we have to wait and see if Rachel A does run...I hope she skips this one 
Thanks for posting thses, cj'sdad.

of the confirmed list, I would definitely be looking at hull/ papa clem over "you fill in the blank" type of wager. I think MTB is better suited for the Belmont and this would be a tough spot.
Adding in the possibilities, I think its a four horse race..
hull/clem/potn/ff
now of course if Rachel gets entered....all of the above has to be looked at again
