I read that Day Pass will be wintering in Dubai, which makes me wonder whether they really think he is a Derby horse, although McLaughlin seems to think he'll be back for first Saturday in May.
The Darley horse "Mercantile" didn't take to the slop at Calder a couple weeks ago, and I assume they hope he can break is maiden soon as he has to be one of their Derby hopefuls. Here's the link to the Day Pass story.
