Stay Thirsty still pointing to Derby

[RolloTomasi]

Not really sure that any praise should be tossed the connections' way with regards to Comma To The Top, simply because they (at least for the moment) made the logic decision to bypass the Kentucky Derby.

He was campaigned aggressively late last year ("he thrives on racing") to great effect, but now, predictably, has fallen apart in his two starts this year.

Seems all the "best interest of the horse" posturing is just a prefabricated excuse in anticipation of another humbling in the Santa Anita Derby. I'm actually curious as to why he's even running in the race in the first place. If he happens to win, is he really going to skip going to Churchill? I doubt it.
