Probably not the case, but I'm sure the owners/trainers thought there HAD to be a better opportunity to earn Derby points than go up against this salty bunch.

Maybe so. Lookin at Lee is the horse from the 'probables' list that wasn't entered. With just 12 points, its options are limited. The Wood looks a lot softer than the Blue Grass.

Bit of a paceless race. After the failed experiments at Tampa, I presume Wild Shot will revert to his 2yo efforts and attempt to wire the field.

Does this new dirt track play like the Keeneland of old? Remember Wild Syn?

I always think of Sinister Minister on that speed favoring track 22.4 / 45.4 and won by a pole

In my opinion it plays pretty fair certainly not the speedway of old.

Lookin At Lee is now listed as an Arkansas Derby probable.

This is more of a reminder for myself, but small fields in the final prep didn't stop Thunder Gulch, Real Quiet, Monarchos, or Street Sense.
