And then the Florida Derby 22 days later? I would be surprised.

You're probably right.

Still - It would have been 22 days from the Timely Writer to the Florida Derby - I'm not sure shipping to Tampa to face Bretheren is that much more grueling.

I suppose his other options would be to have 29 days between the Gotham and Fla Derby - run in the Fla Derby as a 3rd time starter and Ky Derby as a 4th time starter - or abandon the Fla Derby and use a later final prep.

He's not leaving Florida until after the Florida Derby. It's also worth noting that he was also never running in the Fountain of Youth. Never. Where he goes next, however, I don't know. I imagine Nick will figure it out.

I guess he needs to get an N2X to go with him in it - or just go into the Fla Derby as a 3rd time starter.

I guess...unless you feel like running against Uncle Mo, not killing the horse, and basically giving him a mildly competitive workout.

These days, who knows what matters as horses prepare for the Derby. Certainly not what we used to think mattered.
