Exactly. It's Florida Derby day so the place is going to be packed anyway. Plus I don't think people are going to be rushing to the track to see a Flashpoint/The Factor matchup.

Wasn't that why Dutrow didn't start Homeboykris again prior to the Derby, because he was "sitting on the big one." I don't think it's his horses he's drugging, but his owners to believe this stuff.

Well I would make a special trip, but I'm different.

Bob Baffert trains for Peachtree Stable.

I wonder if they'll pull the horses out of his barn if he doesn't get the matchup to happen.

I'm sure Mythical Power would be greatly missed.
