i took a shot with high fly in the derby future book (32-1). i thought zito would rest him a bit and run him in the blue grass. now it looks like he's running in the FOY on sat with bailey up. not sure how the horse will respond after two very fast races, but it's good to see bailey likes the horse. harlington is out with a bad ankle. i doubt he would have run well at CD in a 20 horse field.

i still like declan's moon though. if he improves a few points in his first start next month, i think he is on his way. i can't get excited about any of the others at this point. andromeda's hero might be an interesting longshot, especially is bejarano sticks with him.
