![]() It's a Shadwell horse and honestly I'm not sure a $100k bonus is going to make Sh. Hamdan or break him. He's indicated that he'll need a good run in the BG to go to Louisville.

![]() But do the two Godolphins (Regal Ransom/Desert Party) and one Shadwell (Mafaaz) all enter, if it keeps a Coolmore (Dunkirk) horse on the outside looking in? Shades of Danthebluegrassman??

![]() I doubt the Sheikhs are that vindictive. The Magnier colors appeared in Dubai for the first time this year and found the winner's enclosure twice.

![]() So with Maafaz and the two from Dubai, only the top 17 on the earnings list would go.
Did I read somewhere that one of the Dubai colts might be held out until the Preakness? --Dunbar

![]() Well, the two from Dubai are part of the top 20. Godolphin has indicated they may hold one back for the Preakness (most likely, Regal Ransom) but if they are both doing well, they might go with both of them in the Derby.

![]() I looked at the list on E-dailey this a.m., and realized for the first time this is a quality bunch this year. I could go 15 deep and probable make a case for each. The last 2 week-end preps has shown this is wide opened and could be some nice odds with legitmate picks.

![]() Think of how much fun it would have been if Regal Ransom, Desert Party, Vineyard Haven and Midshipman had stayed in the US each with their original trainer.

![]() Since it looks like Dunkirk will get in, who gets the mount?
Will Gomez give it up for POTN? If so, will Prado get it back? Julian Leparoux was red hot at the Churchill fall meet last year. He deserves a look as Pletcher is still looking for his first Derby win. |

![]() What's with all these horses running in the Alaska Derby? Is that graded?

(This point will probably be moot as CM is expected to race this weekend and even if he finished 5th he'll probably get earnings. Interesting question though.)

![]() Patena is Blue Grass bound... probably didn't care for the slop, likes synthetics and worked well today. I'm expecting an improved effort.
