Derby Notebook/Earnings (4/17); Soldat sharp in last FL drill

[Indian Charlie]

Not that I like Anthony's Cross in the Derby, but it's odd that Harty has raced this horse so sparingly the last few months, considering he figured to barely, if at all, have enough earnings to make the field.

I've wondered if he realized that now he has to get a first or second in the SA Derby to be guaranteed to make it. He does seem like a horse to me that could easily run in the top four in Ky, but he could also run fourth at SA as well.
