Mettee Drops Hint about Godolphin Pair. Rick Mettee, assistant to trainer Saeed bin Suroor, said that Godolphin and bin Suroor had not made a definitive decision on whether both Regal Ransom and Desert Party would run in the Kentucky Derby, but he gave a hint today at Churchill Downs.
Both are going to work this weekend and that might help sort things out, Mettee said. No definitive decision has been made, but right now were planning on running both.
Mettee said Alan Garcia, who rode Regal Ransom in the UAE Derby, was committed to ride for the stable in the Kentucky Derby. If both horses are entered in the Derby, the decision would be made then as to which horse Garcia would ride.
Both colts galloped over a fast track at Churchill Downs today. They trained great, both of them, said Mettee. They galloped really well. They had jogged for a few days since clearing quarantine (on Saturday) and they both seemed to grab the track real nice.

You think MHS can pull a Giacomo?
Btw, I just read that Theregoesjojo is out. Starting to look semi-promising for MHS.
