The Spiral Stakes will be worth 85 points across the board for a piece of real estate under the Derby starting gate:>) Guess it remained there since it is run over a synthetic surface. A full field of 12 plus 2 also eligibles. Good to see Airoforce in the entries for Casse after his poor start in the Risen Star on dirt. Very interesting group of horses. PP's below. TJ

OH boy. That is a turf horse thru-and-thru, and I bet, I BET, he'll be running in the Derby.

Hi Cree,
Ramsey never nominated this one to the Derby, but he said he will supplement him and Oscar Nominated will run in the Derby. TJ
