Irish War Cry was no exception today as he too, followed suit with the odds on choices in these Derby preps not running their race. Here's the replay. TJ

I liked the way Gunnevara won, but he may be at a disadvantage with his running style.
I think he has a great pedigree, I'm more than pleased to see Dialed In doing well.
Have they said the Florida Derby is next for him?

Hi Cree,
Yes, Gunnevera was very impressive. Just as impressive was the fact his trainer gave $16,000 for him, $1,000 less than they paid for Seattle Slew:>) Castellano said he could have been closer to the pace, but he opted to allow him to settle early. He will run in the Florida Derby next...here's an article that will bring you up to date with the others and where they might run next. TJ
