For Big Glen and Samba Rooster there is a very slim chance that a win might not be enough. The rest are in with a win for sure. Tomcito is in with a second place finish. Atoned should be in with a second place finish but not definitely. Salute the Sarge is in no matter what he does if they want to run him.

I think a win (Steve has $195K for 1st) puts that horse in the Derby, if they should want to go.

Not if Salute the Sarge, Eight Belles, and Anak Nakal wind up going.

Behindatthebar confirmed now too.. AND.. if he should win, and Atoned run 2nd... Todd Pletcher would suddenly have 4 Derby starters..

When they hit the far turn of the Blue Grass I said to my friend how we couldn't have a Kentucky Derby without Pletcher having some live runners.

I recall reading that Big Glen was not Triple Crown nominated (edit- I just checked and he was a late nominee).

Also, is there any chance that Adriano runs in the Lexington, or is he training straight to the derby?

Looks like a nice Lexington

I dont think I could handle a Big Brown, Big Glen, Big Truck, Z Fortune and a Z Humor all in the same race.

He may have runners but any really live?

Steve's list has Eight Belles going, but Proud Spell as one of those mysterious "X" horses. I guess we won't know for sure until they draw the numbers for post positions.

Basically a win in the Lexington even for those two would more than likely get them in but there is no guarantee. Right now Cowboy Cal is the last in the list that is guaranteed to get in. The rest could be bumped under a worst case scenario.

The horses with (X) are positioned on the list to run in the Derby if they care to but are not committed and leaning against...
