Destin

[BitPlayer]

Wrong sheets, but otherwise interesting:

Pletcher’s third big gun is Destin (Giant’s Causeway), who was last seen winning the Tampa Bay Derby Mar. 12. Pletcher said one distinct possibility is that the colt will not have another prep for the Derby.

“The ownership is on board with that,” Pletcher said of the possibility of passing the next round of Derby preps. “[Owner] Steve Davison is a big Ragozin guy and the horse made a big move forward in the Tampa Bay Derby. I know that when it comes to the Derby, not too many people have tried this approach. But, generally, giving horses plenty of time between races has worked well for our stable. Liam’s Map (Unbridled’s Song) and Stopchargingmaria (Tale of the Cat) winning Breeders’ Cup races off layoffs are examples of that. It something we are thinking about.”

\"I\'ll get \'em there . . . maybe . . . they probably won\'t win, but I\'ll get \'em there . . . \"

\"Davison is a big Ragozin guy\". Well I guess, he bought the company from Ragozin.
