It is moot. If Charitable Man doesn't run well enough to get earnings this weekend, they won't send him to the Derby.
He had a nice work over the Keenland track on Sunday.

ANYTHING he does will be an "improved effort".

Ha, very true.

He's talented, he ran second to Friesan Fire... I think he deserves a second shot.

For what its worth, nothing to you but something to me, I suppose, I bet Hooh Why this weekend partly because of her strong second to Patena back at Woodbine in the fall.

Shug would only have gone with a ready horse but the decision was made for him by his lack of graded earnings.
