Default DERBY NEWS (4/25): Eskendereya out; Lookin at Lucky new fave..
Eskendereya won't go out today again and Endorsement, who was supposed to at least gallop, was left in the barn as well.

D. Wayne Lukas had Dublin work before 6am going 5f in 1:02.4.

Thanks Steve.

Do we still have a sloppy track for today? Turf?

sorry to hear this, but, for me it will be a much better betting race now. I liked ESK but was not looking forward to betting 2:1 in a 20 horse field.

I was really looking forward to betting him at 2-1. That would have been a huge overlay in my opinion. Now the race is wide open.

I am particularly sad as I think this horse may have been something special and now we may never know.

Dosnt this make it more likely that more than 1 filly going to the derby? Or does it make sense for the top 3 to cross enter and wait for the draw and then coose the best shot. After all they have invested isnt the extra money a good hedge for them

Ditto. However I don't think it makes the race wide open, it just drops the odds on L@L and Sid'sCandy.

LAL your new fave. Maybe as low as 3-1 with Baffert in tow.

Fast main track. Good turf.

There are 20 numbers on a dart board. Put on a blindfold and toss one

Did TP give any indication in press conference on status of Interactif, Discreetly Mine or DMC?

As mentioned before, Endorsement's work pushed back.

http://drf.com/news/article/112476.html

Is this a lesser known trainer being overly cautious because of the off track?
Doesn't want to have a mishap and not have a Derby starter?

There is some fairly wide speculation of a problem here. By the time of the Derby-Oaks worker window after the harrow break, there was no 'off track'. It was fine. Ritter walked him briefly and then put him away. And WinStar's Bill Casner was totally evasive when asked about the horse. Let's wait it out, but it doesn't seem likely things are 100%.
