7 and 20 for sure

Wildcat Red, Wicked Strong, and my pick General A Rod.

Baffert is planning on running Chitu in the Derby Trial this Saturday at Churchill, and supposedly is gonna run in the Derby too if he runs well.

Medal Count is my longshot bet right now

I can't toss Chitu and Medal Count far enough......

Yeah I just read this as well. Interesting, I like Chitu and think he could make a great miler. But I don't see him in the Derby picture.

thanks

I agree. Chitu's form was hardly flattered by the results of the Illinois Derby. Sure hope he doesnt go in derby. Makes room for other horses with a better chance to enter. Sure hope it doesnt go to Pablo Del Monte though. He would be the favorite to finish last.

Bgbooth did you hear if bravo is going to stay on danza ?

I have not heard that confirmed as of yet. Many of the jockeys are still unconfirmed and will be until this weeks workouts shake out a little.
