May Care (Malibu Moon) will takeon the boys in Saturdays GIKentucky Derby Greathouse saidthe deciding factor was the avail-ability of jockey John Velazquezwho was booked on Eskendereya(Giants Causeway) before thelate defection of that rival AIvesaid all along either I was goingto get Johnny or I was runningon Friday [in the GI KentuckyOaks] said Greathouse whoheld court to a throng of report-ers standing in the entrancewayto Pletchers barn ASo everythingwas really easy If Johnny was

Connections have the option to cross-enter Devil MayCare in the Derby and the Oaks but both races areoversubscribed If she were to be entered in the Oaksand scratched in favor of the Derby one potentialstarter would be left out of the Oaks Pletcher said thatwas an unlikely scenario APersonally I dont think theres a reason not to[cross-enter] but I think Mr Greathouse would feelmore comfortable entering just one race he doesntwant to compromise anyones chances of getting intothe Oaks he remarked Asked about the five-pound sex allowance Devil MayCare will receive in the Derby Pletcher said AIt doesnthurt Five pounds is a lot going a mile and a quarter Devil May Care was purchased by Glencrest Farm for$110000 as a Keeneland September yearling Put backthrough the Fasig-Tipton February Sale as part of CiaranDunnes Wavertree consignment she failed to meet herreserve and was bought back for $400000 AI loved the filly when I bought her said GreathouseAI really didnt think wed get her actually But theywerent on her I dont know why but they werent Isent some horses to Wavertree that were going to goto a two-year-old sale and I think Ciaran told mybrother [David] You know this filly Johns got shereally acts okay So I went to Florida a few weeksbefore the Calder sale to see some of the horses Thisfilly shed just gallop along and gallop along and shewas looking around and playing around and the otherhorses were in a drive just to keep up with her She justhas a high cruising speed Pletcher first got a hint that Devil May Care could besomething special at Saratoga last summer prior to herdebut Aug 29 AShe worked as good as any two-year-old we had at Saratoga he said ASpecifically sheworked one morning from the gate and she gallopedout as strong as any two-year-old Ive ever had there Devil May Care won her first start as the favoriteairing by nearly five lengths in a six-furlong maidenthen won the GI Frizette S at Belmont in her nextouting Oct 10

Asked about the choice of Derby over Oaks Pletchersaid AShes an exceptional filly Weve always felt thatway and we felt that a distance of ground would suither Basically since shes been here shes trainedpretty phenomenally With the big horse [Eskendereya]coming out the field is wide open and we think shedeserves a chance With a 14-horse field going a mileand an eighth [in the Oaks] theres going to be asmuch traffic in the first turn as a 20-horse field going amile and a quarter on Saturday Shes a strong filly andshe has the right disposition and mechanics to fit Pletchers first and only Classic winner came by wayof the fairer sex Rags to Riches (AP Indy) beat Curlin(Smart Strike) in the 2007 GI Belmont S Many thoughtshe deserved a chance in that years Derby but insteadran in the Oaks and won easily AThe difference thatyear was there was Curlin Hard Spun [Danzig] andStreet Sense [Street Cry Ire]--it was a deeper divisionthan this appears to be right now Pletcher said aboutnot running Rags to Riches in the Derby ARight now itdoesnt have the same imposing horses

Rule Out Jackson Bend Inhellip A day after Eskendereya was ruled out of the Derbyanother Todd Pletcher charge was removed from con-sideration WinStar Farms Rule (Roman Ruler) third inthe GI Florida Derby in his latest will not take part inSaturdays ARun for the Roses his connections an-nounced The dual Grade III winner worked five fur-longs in 100 Saturday in company with stablemateMission Impazible (Unbridled=s Song) They finished oneven terms but Mission Impazible appeared full of vimand vigor while Rule seemed to be struggling to matchstrides WinStar still sports a three-pronged entry--in-cluding Super Saver (Marias Mon) and Endorsement(Distorted Humor)--and so the decision was made totake a step back and regroup with Rule ARule is fine said Pletcher AHe came out of the workgood but for whatever reason he just doesnt seem assharp as he was earlier in the year Well see how heresponds in the next week or so and if he turns itaround the [May 15] GI Preakness is a possibility

Rule=s defection has opened the Derby door to RobertLaPenta and Fred Breis Jackson Bend (Hear No Evil)who coming into the day sat in 21st on the gradedearnings list AWere very excited said trainer Nick Zito AHescertainly worthy of a start thats for sure He was

second to Eskendereyain the GII [Fasig-Tipton] Fountain ofYouth and GI Wood Memorial SHe never missed an opportunity toget in and didnt take the easyway--not that theres ever an easyway But he ran in the Holy Bullthe Fountain of Youth and Woodand you catch a horse likeEskendereya He didnt duck any-body to get in this field Im justhappy hell get the opportunitybecause he never runs a bad raceHes a gem of consistency

The waiting game now begins for the connections ofBacktalk (Smarty Jones) Now occupying the 21st spoton the earnings list the GIII Illinois Derby third will needa 12th-hour departure to secure a spot in the gateSaturday Its looking increasingly unlikely that MakeMusic for Me (Bernstein) (22nd) and Pleasant Prince(23rd) will make the cut

Lookin At Lucky Fires Bullethellip Last years juvenile champ Lookin At Lucky (SmartStrike) only strengthened his claim to favoritism in theDerby with a sharp five-furlong work at Churchill yes-terday The bay who worked with stablemate BrokenTango (Broken Vow) breezed the distance in 10080which earned him a co-bullet along with First Dude(Stephen Got Even) Under exercise rider Dana BarnesLooking at Lucky third in the GI Santa Anita Derbywas caught through splits of 12 2420 36 and4820 He galloped out six panels in 11520 whilewell clear of his workmate AHe worked well Baffert told the media afterwardswhile atop an overturned feed tub AThe track was in

very good shape Itssoft today Ive beenworrying about the rainbut it worked out Itswhat you want to seegoing in I was happywith the work Fromhere on we just needsome luck We need todraw well and have agood trip Baffert ex-

Interactif Drills A Halfhellip Todd Pletcher will start at least four horses in theDerby and will account for a full 25 percent of the fieldif a fifth Interactif (Broken Vow) is entered tomorrow

The bay took a step backwhen he finished fourth inthe GI Toyota Blue GrassS at Keeneland Apr 10but looks to have exitedthe race well and yester-day made a case for him-self with a four-furlongwork in 4760 It was thefastest of 45 moves at

the distance and was two ticks quicker than the nextfastest credited to workmate Collect the Fee (Menifee)Pletcher called it Aa very good work but wasnoncommital to a tilt in the Derby AIll talk with theowners [Wertheimer et Frere] and well make a decision[today] For her part exercise rider Patti Barry gaveInteractifs work a thumbs up AHe surprised me shesaid afterwards AHe really worked well I was gettingon him last winter but I havent been on him in awhile and I was surprised by how well he did Thiswas a good work for him

Line of David Workshellip GI Arkansas Derby victor Line of David (Lion Heart)was sent out to his final serious Derby drill yesterdaybreezing six panels in a modest 115 flat The movecame over a track that started the day labeled sloppybut changed to muddy AHe didnt really grab the tracksaid trainer John Sadler who will also saddle likelysecond choice Sidneys Candy (Candy Ride Arg) inthe Derby ABut we didnt really have much choice Wehad to work today The weather is what it is I had himin 115 I would have preferred we went a little betterbut I think it was a track he didnt really like He hasntreally been on a muddy track ever though this was asealed track today Exercise rider Lupillo Alferez was inthe irons Rafael Bejarano rides Saturday

From the second crop of Lion Heart whose progenyhave an average winning distance of 654 furlongsLine of David is a progressive sort who has won his lastthree He captured a one-mile grassy Santa Anitamaiden in his third career start Feb 15 won by overfour in an allowance over the same course and distanceMar 11 and punched his ticket to the Derby with a17-1 upset of the Arkansas Derby AHe had a good winter said Sadler AHe had twogood wins at Santa Anita and a great race at ArkansasHes a nice big strong horse but I wish we got a fasttrack today When youre in this process you cant notwork The race is Saturday whether you like it or notPhysically the mile and a quarter should be no problemI think he takes more from the dam side--his dam[Emmas Dilemma] is by Capote and Capote gets bighorses I dont think 10 furlongs is too much of aworry I think the way the race sets up will be key forhim and obviously now the track condition Line of David has won each of his races in gate-to-wire fashion Asked about tactics in the Derby Sadlersaid AWed like to see him more forwardly placed thanback but not necessarily on the lead

Promise Work Could Spell Derby Runhellip Trainer Ken McPeek has taken a wait-and-see ap-proach to the Derby with Grade I winner Nobles Prom-ise (Cuvee) who exited a rough-trip fifth in the GI Ar-kansas Derby with a lung infection McPeek like whathe saw yesterday during the colts four-furlong work-out and its looking like the Chasing Dreams Racingcolorbearer will be part of the field ATheres a betterthan average chance well be part of this McPeek saidyesterday after Nobles Promise worked four panels in4880 The bay sat behind his workmate early in thedrill then stormed past in deep stretch He completedthe final quarter in 2420 AWeve had several raceswhere he sprinted away at the quarter pole McPeekexplained of the work strategy AI wanted him to situntil the eighth pole and wait and wait and wait Itcould not have gone better He was able to skip rightalong and move over the track

The WinStar Lion Roars Bill Casner has come a long way since catching hisfirst Kentucky Derby on a small black-and-white televi-

sion back in his native ElPaso The year was 1956and young Casner looked onin awe as the Florida-bredNeedles rallied from secondlast and made up some 24lengths to wear the roses AIwas eight years old and Ican still remember it Casnersaid yesterday from EoinHartys barn at Churchill AIwas with my dad and hewas visiting this farmer who

said Come in come inthe Kentucky Derbys on Ididnt even know what it was at the time That experience led to a love of horse racing andeventually to a spell working on the backstretch To-day Casner not only knows the Derby but more impor-tantly how to get there WinStar Farm the nom decourse of Casner and partner Kenny Troutts decade-oldracing breeding and stallion operation has been repre-sented by an impressive 10 Derby runners WinStarsbest finish was a runner-up effort by Bluegrass Cat(Storm Cat) in 2006 Colonel John (Tiznow) finishedsixth in 2008 wearing the WinStar white and last yearWinStar had three runners in the Derby--Hold Me Back(Giants Causeway) (12th) Advice (Chapel Royal)(13th) and Mr Hot Stuff (Tiznow) (15th) WinStars remarkable run continues in 2010 Casnerand Troutt could have lined up four starters in theDerby had they chosen to but after the scratch yester-day of Rule will settle for three runners once againThey are GIII Sunland Derby winner Endorsement (Dis-torted Humor) GIII Illinois Derby winner American Lion(Tiznow) and GI Arkansas Derby runner-up Super Saver(Marias Mon) They are trained respectively by Shan-non Ritter Harty and Todd Pletcher AI can make a case for all of them--I really can saidCasner AEndorsement ran a monster race at SunlandPark I think people underestimate how good that racewas American Lion couldnt be coming up to this raceany better [Jockey David] Flores rides him so well andthat race in the Illinois Derby I think is with the defec-tion of Eskendereya the best Thoro-Graph number inthe field I think he got a -34 And Super Saver ran ahuge race in the Arkansas Derby He rated kindly and Ithink that race will move him forward We had threehorses last year and the year before had two and inthose years I could probably given you a preference ora feel that one may have been better than the other Icant do that this yearCont p6

Making the Scene cont

American Lion turned the screws in advance of Satur-days Derby with a five-furlongwork in 102 35 yesterday whichsuited Casner just fine AThe horse needed to relax hesaid AThe track was a little bit slickFlores said and hes a big horseYou dont want to go out on a tracklike that and try and do too much Casner makes an impression bothwith his salt-of-the-earth style--bely-

ing the fact he built up along with Troutt a billion-dollar telecommunications firm--but also with an ear-nest exuberance about what it means to race on thefirst Saturday in May AIt would be wonderful to win this race sometime inmy lifetime but if it never happens I will not feel likeIm missing something he said AI came onto the race-track when I was 14 and made a living there until I was31 32 But I didnt attend my first Derby until I waslike 50 It was the year of Victory Gallop [in 1998] Sojust to be in the DerbyYwhen those horses step outonto the racetrack and you know theyre the best 20 oftheir generation and they play My Old KentuckyHome it doesnt get any better You talk to peoplewho have never been to the Derby and really donthave much affinity for horses theyll tell you the samething Theyll get a tear in their eye

Braving the Weatherhellip It was a cold rainy raw day yesterday in LouisvilleDespite the weather activity on the backstretch beganto heat up There seemed to be nearly twice as manymedia types milling about as there were Sunday includ-ing cameras from several local TV stations Both Johnand David Greathouse took time with reporters after itwas announced their Glencrest Farm would be repre-sented in the Derby by filly Devil May Care while theWinStars Doug Cauthen was part of the crew watch-ing American Lion work Looks wise Line of Davidmade a favorable impression despite a less-than-idealdrill that trainer John Sadler chalked up to track condi-tions The chestnut is a big well-made type colt and isconsiderably bigger than his sire the very game LionHeart runner-up to Smarty Jones back in 2004 (Yesits been six years) Others who caught the eye wereIce Box (Pulpit) a handsome chestnut who seemedquite pleased with himself as he skipped over themuddy Churchill track and Lookin At Lucky who lookslike he=s been to the Derby several times before anddoesn=t understand what all the fuss is about

Beautician Breezes Four Furlongs Ken McPeek could have a live longshot in the Derbyin Noble=s Promise and another the day before in the GI Kentucky Oaks in the form of Beautician (Dehere)The filly breezed an easy half-mile under Alex Solisyesterday in the Churchill mud in 4920 though shedid come out of the work with some superficial cutsand scrapes on her back left leg AShe=s had a history ofwhat I call gtscalping= said McPeek ABut I thought wehad her all past that I think the off track contributed Itshouldn=t be anything major Beautician galloped outfive panels in 103 flat Beautician enters the race off awell-beaten eighth-place finish in the GI Ashland S atKeeneland Apr 3 but has never been worse than sec-ond on conventional dirt Plus AI think I babied her alittle going into the Ashland admitted McPeek

Glencrest Farms John Greathouse Im not someone who has to talk to a trainer on aday-to-day basis Its a waste of his time and mineHes got 300 horses for 100 different owners If yourecalling up somebody and badgering them all the timesooner or later that persons going to start second-guessing themselves If your boss did it to you youwould I text him once in a while or hell text me tocall If he calls me well I dont like being called byhorse trainers in the morning He always prefaces thecall Nothings wrong But the guys an easy guy toworth with and what I really like are the results Whenyou have a track record of three Grade I winners out ofseven horses youve sent him it starts to look prettygood One of us is smart and one of us is lucky Ill letyou all decide which one it isWhat They=re Saying cont p7

But Dubawi had shown that he wasn=t just a verygood two-year-old as he went on to win the Irish 2000Guineas and Prix Jacques le Marois These Group 1victories over a mile sandwiched a game third in theDerby on the only occasion he ventured beyond a mileNow his progeny are also showing that they are trainingon very nicely and three of them have become groupwinners over the last few weeks First we saw the G3 Prix Djebel fall to Makfi a coltwho has decisively won both his starts since beingculled by Shadwell as an unraced juvenile for26000gns last October Next came Worthadd whoimproved his second-season record to three wins fromas many starts when he took the G3 Premio ParioliAnd then two days ago Dubawi=s daughter Anna Salaiestablished her Classic credentials by sweeping throughto win the G3 Prix de la Grotte on only her third start Anna Salai=s victory must have been especially pleas-ing for Godolphin=s supremo Sheikh Mohammed asshe is a granddaughter of his great favorite DubaiMillennium This son of Seeking the Gold was the un-doubted star of the 2000 season when he became oneof the very rare horses with a Timeform rating of 140to its credit The compilers of the International Classifi-cations also acknowledged his star status by awardinghim a rating of 134 both on dirt and turf His ratingplaced him four pounds clear of the second-best olderhorse the redoubtable Montjeu We all know that Montjeu has gone on to establishhimself as an outstanding stallion but Dubai Millen-nium=s untimely death in 2001 makes it much harder toassess his ability as a stallion After the death of hisbeloved horse Sheikh Mohammed set about acquiringas many of the stallion=s progeny as he could Conse-quently no fewer than half of Dubai Millennium=s 56foals went into training as two-year-olds with Saeed binSuroor under the Godolphin banner Remarkably 17 ofthe 56 Dubai Millenniums were out of Group 1 winnersone of them being Dubawi=s dam the Oaks d=Italiawinner Zomaradah
