Regal Ransom was working well and has always shown a lot of speed. He had the run of the race and kicked clear in the straight.
Both are world-class colts and we will make a decision nearer the time.
We might run one in the Kentucky Derby and leave the other for the Preakness Stakes, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it.
We are just very pleased to have two world-class horses."

Even if they don't intend to run Regal Ransom, I reckon they'll enter him. |
So are you upgrading your "less than a 2.5% chance that he'll run" estimate?
