I guess that's why I find it fun this year. I imagine, had I gone with my original thought of playing Unbridled Vicar at 200-1 after he ran second to Denis of Cork, I would be having much less fun with it right now like you are. I'm with Scav -- at least I've got action, and anything can happen I guess.

 I think I'll try to limit myself next year (assuming there is still a Future bet) to what worked this year: bet horses that run the week-end after the close of Pool 2. That way the odds are still big and the bandwagon is relatively empty.

You can expect Behindatthebar to run now as it appears yet another major share of him has been sold (est. $2MM) and the new connections intend to run. Todd Pletcher, who would prefer to wait until Preakness with him, has told CD to put him back on the 'probable' list.

My feelings on this are that it's a shame if a colt or two that would run if entered gets shut out.. but I think CD created it's own problem.. that is if the officials at Churchill even care.
I think the owners of the fillies have every right to cross-enter since it's within the rules.. I don't like it.. but it's their right. BBJ and Denis of Cork (the two horse now at #21 & #22) have a much better chance of winning the KY Derby, IMO, than the fillies.

The bigger problem, IMHO, is the gamesmanship of the system by some owners. And by some owners I mean Fox Hill Farm. Someone at CD should be leaning on Rick Porter VERY heavily making the point that in the next few days, he needs to decide whether to fish or cut bait.

I don't think anyone will demure from the field without an injury. Denis of Cork looks more and more doubtful right now and it's tough to swallow given that he looks as good as any horse out on the track these last several days... Thx for listening to ATR.. Glad you enjoy it and would be happy to meet at the Downs this week. Lots of DT there too. Will look at the P4's at CD and the Oaks/Derby cards. Tough this week with tons going on though. HOL carry Wednesday has to be covered too. See you at CD!
