Devil May Care owner John Greathouse confirms the filly for the Kentucky Derby. John Velazquez will ride. Devil May Care will be cross-entered in the Kentucky Oaks (G1) as well.

Meh.. Kind of ordinary. Hard to believe it could be viewed too gleefully by the WinStar team. I was kind of hoping for something that said 'ready'.

The one proviso is that the track was pretty funky out there. You could noticeably hear the slogging/thudding sound horses have getting over a dead, heavy surface. But the reality is that Lucky and Noble's were fine getting over it, so you just have to draw your own conclusions... The videos should be out soon I'd imagine.

Maybe he didn't like the track....Of course the long range forecast looks iffy. Ice Box gallop?

ICE BOX was chipper and alternately galloped, jogged, hobby-horsed around once at the end of the Derby/Oaks session.. And yeah, I was trying to give American Lion the benefit of the doubt on the track too, but watch it later and see what you think...

Cross-entering in both the Derby and Oaks is poor form considering there are horses on the grounds for both races that want in the Derby/Oaks but will be out because of the lack of an AE list.

Default Backtalk

So if Interactif doesn't go than Backtalk is in and I presume he will go. I just read that Tom was happy with his work at Keeneland and they consider the last race a toss due to the crazy work they had before it.

Does anyone have an opinion?

Vultures waiting for other shoe to drop on Endorsement and Interactif...

After that, Dublin seems to be nursing things along, and Sadler was justifiably unhappy with Line of David's effort, but pinned it on the track. Whether the Arkansas Derby winner's work was enough to have Sadler pass with him is another story. The Thrashes would be about Sadler's only client left out of the weekend festivities if Line of David were to demure.

I heard something about Dublin doing his best impression of a pinball machine, but I watched the April 25th work on DRF and didn't see it. Maybe I just need to have my vision checked. Did he really bolt twice and bounce off the outside rail?
