No, because they don't publish that information, but I'll call the folks I know at Equibase and ask them to.
Bumped or not, it's clear War Pass is not the same horse when he's free and clear on the lead. In the Kentucky Derby, when there is a real likely chance a stretch-out sprinter such as Keyed Entry or Brancusi or Songandaprayer joins the early mix, War Pass figures to have more trouble making the lead, therefore hindering his chances.
If he was sick/hurt today, it becomes a different story. So until then, I'm going upon what I learned in the race today.
