CTC -

A couple of comments on your post:

Consecrate - I think he needs earnings to make the Derby. He's 25th on the graded earnings list posted on kentuckyderby.com, with $98,000 (the Winstar was ungraded). Although some likely nonstarters are ahead of him, others currently behind him are likely to get a check this weekend or next.

Master David - I'm not sure Bailey could have dislodged Solis.

Eddington - Your reading of the jockey situation is correct. Prado wanted to ride the horse back after the Gotham (and may have thought he had an agreement to do so), but Hennig and the owners wanted Bailey. They think he's got a better chance of getting Eddington to change leads.

Sinister G - I think Paul Toscano may have read TG's Las Vegas presentation on figure making (and the importance of compaction to track speed) before the Lane's End. I noticed in watching the replay that he seemed to keep Sinister G running on the innermost set of tire tracks, which were made readily visible by the process of sealing the track. If I'm correct, that's why you noticed that he was slightly off the rail.
