On the trail?

Nah Bogey was right-all of them said they wanted to run 2 turns and not have to travel to TB. Seems all 3 of the plans are Allowance and FOY

So the FOY might look like this

Hansen
Union Rags
TCI
Casual Trick
El Padrino
Top 3 Holy
Top 3 Holy
Reveron

True it's not a good idea but seems to work. Get cash early/avoid the injury bug and run in the Derby-which is Asmussen's plan for Sabercat

This isnt a strategy, it is a prayer.

Byrne is now trying to figure out what to do with Take Charge Indy,he is in a DRF article saying I should have taken him to Tampa to get earnings HAHA

Mentions a TB Derby to Illinois Derby to KY Derby as his route

I'd love to know what all of three trainers were thinking skipping the Sam F Davis... You've got a maiden (who wasn't even the m/l fav in the mdn race he was cross-entered in) with 150K in graded earnings, practically a bubble horse already to get in, and they're now going to need 2 quality starts just to get the earnings to enter.

Doesn't Take Charge Indy already have about $100k in graded earnings?

What's the rush? With 3 straight defeats in graded stakes as a juvenile, he still has to prove he belongs. Doubt the Sam F. Davis would have answered that question.

Well according to all 3 trainers,they either wanted a 2 turn race or didn't want to ship to TB??

As for TCI ya he has alot of cash from the Juvy already,that is why I said he should have done it the new way. Run early,get cash and wait to the Derby. I think it is a joke too, that horse that peaked as a 2yr old get into the Derby but those are the rules.

They even could have ran him in the Holy Bull are easily picked up 3rd/4th place cash.

Just hope we don't here Byrne crying the week before that the horse who Won the El Camino Real,came in 3rd in the Spiral and 3rd in the Bluegrass got in HAHA

There's a solid chance his horse will wind up in one of those races. A good portion of his graded earnings have come on synthetic surfaces already.

So, you think Pat Byrne should have tried to get some more Graded Stakes in his first start and then either rest him up to the Derby or run in Allowance races for the next few months? This is nonsensical. His horse was making his first start of the year. He is well spaced for two more preps. If he doesn't get enough earnings, a second and third will easily accomplish this, then he won't be in the Derby. I highly doubt he will be whining in that case ( frankly, Pat never struck me as a whiner anyway ).
