Thank you for this.

My pleasure... It's a Derby Trail Spring tradition. Kinda like the banning of PG85.

:tro: I went looking for something like this last night but ran out of steam and went to bed.

Thanks again....

Is the Miner's horse of Zito's being pointed anywhere

According to the DRF, Alexis Barba has changed plans with her two prospects. Alphie's Bet will point to the Santa Anita Derby while Make Music For Me will wheel back in the Lane's End. Not sure if that means the latter will go for the Blue Grass afterwards.

Apparently an ALW race..

Am I correct in reading that Rule will end up with only one prep on his schedule?

NO.
He has already won the Sam Davis, he will run again before the derby.

Sorry, mistyped, meant two preps. I knew he won the Sam Davis. Toss.

Make Music For Me pointing to Lane's End (Turfway, 3/27)

Am I getting close?

yes imo

I know it's fillies, but does anybody know where Always a Princess is being pointed to?

LOL... No. A few others moved past you on the backstretch.

Good question. She's working steadily, so she's healthy. Will check with Baffert and see what's up.

Thanks for this, always helpful this time of year.

I liked her a lot in BC.... Ughh.

Now Make Music For Me is pointing for the Blue Grass, not the Lane's End.

I think I read that the Derby isn't on Zito's radar for Miner's reward. As Steve said, he'll probably go in an allowance, and assuming all goes well, will prep for the Preakness in the Cliff's Edge Derby Trial.

That shouldn't surprise because the CEDT is sponsored for the first time this year by LaPenta in order to promote his stallion, The Cliff's Edge. It should be expected that he would want to have a promising up-and-comer run in that race. Miner's Reserve makes perfect sense, I would think, because he's promising, he's an up-and-comer, and he's really just a little bit too far behind the 8-ball, experience and earnings-wise, for the Derby to be a realistic target here in mid-March.

I like him a lot. I hope they do well with him.
