It's looking more likely that Jackson Bend will get in -anyone know who may ride him?

That a rather ignorant comment considering that the Derby has has two $100+ winners in the past five years. At least he's been more consistant than many entered this year.

If Rule doesn't go, will Dominguez get a mount?

I don't believe a rider has been confirmed on Noble's Promise if he goes. Also, I have not heard who rides Backtalk if he gets in.

Willie Martinez rides Noble's Promise. Miguel Mena on Backtalk. Ramon Dominguez has a backup plan.

I was watching Rule and loved his last race, but it appears to have knocked him out for awhile.

Rule looks like a headcase to me ... just has that crazy eye. *shrugs*

Rule couldn't keep up with Mission Implazible
and I don't like Mission Implazible because I don't think he has run in a 1 1/8th prep.

FYI - I'm considering putting Paddy O'Prado in all of my bets

John,

#1. RULE started a length behind MISSION IMPAZIBLE and hit the wire less than a neck behind him. Mission outworked Rule however because Rule was working at getting to Mission while Mission was simply within himself and moving without any urging from his rider.

#2. MISSION IMPAZIBLE won the Louisiana Derby which was lengthened to 9f as part of its' new spot on the Derby Trail.

Mission Imazible looks to be coming into the week the best of the Pletcher group outside of the filly.

I understood that Super Saver was also coming in pretty strong. How does Mission Impazible compare to him?

I just watched the Mission Impazable and Rule work from Saturday. I thought Mission's work was lights out and Rule absolutely sucked. Rule was being asked the whole time to keep up with Mission and simply couldn't, while Mission was not being asked at all. When both riders let up, Rule shut it down completely and Mission galloped out strong.

I wasn't anywhere near Mission before watching that, but he might be an include for me now
