    What about Dublin closing @ 10/1? The horse that just beat him (Conveyance) closed almost three times higher @ 28/1.

    I read that Pletcher might run Rule in the Florida Derby, but it seems odds with him already having Eskendeyera pointint to that race. My guess would be he'll go in the Tamba Bay Derby. This doesn't look like the year for a wire-to-wire winner though (as if it ever does), with many of the top contenders being either early-speed or just-off-the-pace types. Could get pretty hairy up front. Which of course is not what you want with a bunch of 3yo's going 1 1/4 miles for the first time.

    Rule isn't listed for Tampa Bay Derby. This years Ken. Derby looks to be won from behind, Dublin, Soaring Empire and a Colt, no ones mentioned, called Fast Alex. Last year it was Dunkirk but he got hurt. This year I'll be pulling and expecting stroung performances out of these 3 Colts.

    Yeah, Pletcher decided to run Super Saver in @ Tampa. Not sure what the plan is for Rule; perhaps he'll go in the Florida Derby after all.

    Not sure why so many people are hot for Dublin. He's 0-for-3 at a mile or longer, and for some reason he got bet down to 9/1 (i think) in the latest Derby pool? I've seen nothing to indicate that he has any kind of serious chance in the Derby. Sure he was closing late in the Southwest, but he never threatened Conveyance at any point. He barely got past Cardiff Giant, who went off @ around 30/1 in the Southwest and isn't mentioned on any Derby lists. I just don't get the hype on that horse, not at all. D. Wayne Lukas, i guess.

    Fast Alex is a decent horse and don't forget this one Stay Put. I think he will win the La.Derby if not other big shipper comes to town.

    I like Dublin cause he is by Afleet Alex (Who in my mind is the last triple crown winner even though he did lose the derby) and should have no problem getting the derby distance I guess we will see today but Im going to put a few $ on this horse today on what I think will be a decent price. Good luck

    I think what Pletcher's doing is running Super Saver @ Tampa and Rule to N.Y. for the Wood. Sort of like a switch of races for the two Colts

    I'm with Mikeynce on liking Dublin. His connections made it clear that he had some serious issues for those two races last year. His stakes win at 2 might have been the most impressive 2yo performance next to Lookin at Lucky in the BC Juv (regardless of losing here, I still thought the effort to be superb). On top of that, after the surgery, and first race of the year he was making up a ton of ground in the stretch on a game horse in Conveyance.

    I feel like Dublin has a legit shot to take down Lookin at Lucky who will be adding blinkers for first time as well as dirt the first time, not to mention a likely 3/5 post time odd.

    Needless to say, I'll be on Dublin in the rebel.

    I stood to win eight grand on Afleet Alex in the Derby. That one hurt...
