Don\'t know if it should be moved, but probably won\'t be parking my car for $15 in someones front yard. Other than top 3, anyone coming back from Derby?

Will Pletcher send Competitive Edge?  Hope so, honest pace will soften AP for Belmont.

Competetive Edge, if he runs, has a real shot to win the Preakness.

Baseball did it. Run the program without any spectators. Only TV coverage and simulcast betting.

Magic is right, everyone needs to calm down. And we\'re not going to get into a discussion of the general subject here.

First hand knowledge?

On 14 days rest?  Maybe on a month\'s rest I\'d take his chances seriously.  We should know his # soon enough when Jerry posts the Derby card figures, he was 4 4 0 in sprints going into the Day.  I seriously doubt Pletcher is going to stretch him out from 3 sprints & a mile race to 1 3/16ths and move him up to G1 competition in a race that is seldom won by a non Derby starter.  
Even if Pletcher ran him, his chances would be slim & none & I\'d bet on none.
