From Downey's site:

Curlin in Good Shape; On Way to Kentucky. Curlin came out of the Grade II Arkansas Derby "without a pimple". He left Hot Springs this morning on the same flight with Storm in May, who, after a surprising second in the Arkansas Derby, will go on to the Kentucky Derby as well. Storm in May's stable mate, Delightful Kiss, fourth in the race, is also on the flight and will be pointed to a stakes race Derby week in Louisville. Bill Kaplan trains the pair.

Officer Rocket is out and I hope Sedgefield doesn't go, but it still is up in the air for Chelokee

Gotta love Derby fever, there was also this:

"Realistically, Storm in May is not going to beat that monster."--Trainer Bill Kaplan

Apparently that hasn't dissauded them at all.

I think he plans on getting one of his horses in each of the Triple Crown races. I'mawildandcrazyguy is going to the Belmont.

So we should expect to see Drums of Thunder return in the Preakness?

I'm looking forward to seeing Delightful Kiss run again. :cool:

Starbase!!!! :D

i think wafi city could be a very good one down the road, but the poly wont play to his style and i hope they dont run him in here.... cotown cat came back at hawthorne to flatter wafi city.... i like belgravia in here to win pretty easily, and possibly make a impact in the kentucky derby

Belgravia isn't going to the derby even if he wins. . .

I have a theory involving Soaring By so I'll take him. . .

Wafi City wins this in a romp

Longshot: Albertus Maximus

Actually the Derby Trial's not graded anymore.

If Albertus Maximus got in it would highly amuse me, to see two sons of Albert the Great in the Derby. He's one of those stallions that would really appreciate a notch like that in his belt since he's hardly commercial and flashy for 2yos. I hate to break it to Pletcher, and nothing against Soaring By, but he's got plenty in already.

Right now, I am thinking a tri box with Slew's Tizzy; Joe got Even and Soaring By.

I kinda like Forty Grams.

Anyone got the entries yet? Saw that Slew's Tizzy is in the race.

Thanks Pais!

Looks like Trust Your Luck entered both. Hopefully he goes here.

I see a number of folks on this thread like Soaring By in this race. I suggest going back and look closely at his race on the Fla Derby undercard. That was as weak a NW1 allowance run at this meet. He pressed extremely slow fractions, and struggled to get by a very mediocre horse (and held off another very mediocre horse). Even though he is bred to "go long" he did not appear to want to go long (I know he won). He also did not take "a lot of money" in the race (yeah I know he went off at 4-5, but if you look at the Past Performances of that race it would appear he should have been 1-5 vs those).

I advise this since he will obviously take a lot of money again (based on the connections) and unless the Poly improves him significantly I don't see him hitting the board.

I know this sounds completely crazy. . . but I think Pletcher wants this horse in the Derby to be used as a rabbit for CQ. . .

Slew's Tizzy.. stuns Lex @ 40-1
 

Very impressively wire to wire in sharp fractions..
