looks like Sightseeing is unlikely for the Wood.
per NYRA.com :
"Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey said this morning the Phipps Stable’s Sightseeing is a “longshot to run” in the 83rd running of the Grade 1, $750,000 Wood Memorial April 7th.
“I’m not really planning on running him there,” McGaughey said. “We would consider it more if the race fell apart.”
Sightseeing, who hit the board in a pair of allowance races at Gulfstream this winter, is likely to work either Sunday or Monday morning at Belmont Park.
Without Sightseeing, the Wood Memorial field stands at five with Circular Quay, Nobiz Like Shobiz, Reptilian Smarts and Flashstrom confirmed and Summer Doldrums likely to race here instead of the Illinois Derby."
