Correct. Dance With Fate is a late nominee.

Are the earnings next to the points rankings for unrestricted stakes rather than just graded earnings? How'd the list look if we were wanting the top 20 graded stakes earners? I'm curious about who might've gotten excluded or in with one path to the Derby vs the other.

Appears that Dance With Fate is more likely to bypass Derby than run.. That can change of course, but indications are that Eurton and Co. won't run. Wounded Warrior's Uncle Sigh would be the beneficiary.

Looks like Vegas will be right on the mark with the over/under of 20-1/2 points needed to get in, if there a couple defections, which likely will happen. Everyone sitting on over is going to sweat it out.

Why do you say such things when everyone who has been here for a while knows you will never honor such a thing?

Might make it easier to sell him in the next week or so and cash out?

Scott Hazelton ‏@Scott_Hazelton 5m

@heylaserbeam @DerbyContenders @HRTV Baffert told me this morning that Midnight Hawk will run in the Illinois Derby

Another moves up if true.

Whats going on with these trainers, common sense all of a sudden. Guess it helps to have two others.

With the playoffs starting I doubt Joel Queeneville will get to be there next week, that sort of sucks for him as I doubt that he will ever race at HAW (or AP) again.

Had Cairo won The Fl Derby, he would be the Favorite, he will be a nice overlay, just like Thunder Gulch was...........watch out

[Kasept]

Jay Privman ‏@DRFPrivman: One major Derby jockey assignment to report today. Per Pletcher, John Velazquez is on Intense Holiday, as Smith sticks with Hoppertunity.

Is there a good idea of who will run in the undercard races?

[tanner12oz]

Wise Dan is suppose to run on the undercard
