I pointed out that Lukas would run a Mule in the derby if he could get one to qualify. Lukas will run anything in the derby just for the sake of running in the derby. Even if the horse had no shot. And at this point I really don't think seize the Grey would have a shot at even placing top 3. He'd be a Longshot. I really feel like the derby for him would be a wasted race. Originally Lukas had tossed about the idea of Preakness or Belmont for seize the Grey if he can prove himself

Seize the Grey finished 3rd in Jeff Ruby Steaks Stakes(G3)

Entries
Adaay in Asia probable for Wilshire Stakes(G3) at Santa Anita on 4/4

Blue Devil is on the farm per Facebook

Seize the Grey owners on Facebook are now divided-some are infected with Derby fever mode of "get to Kentucky Derby at all costs" while the other side wishes to bypass the derby in favor of the preakness etc. And both sides are passionate about it too. I'm on the bypass the derby side of things. For now, despite the DRF article, both the Bluegrass and the Lexingtons are possibilities, with no immediate decisions made.

I think the Bluegrass Stakes is going to come up tough which seems like a daunting task since STG just raced last weekend.

It will be interesting to see what happens if we run in the Bluegrass Stakes because so many of the STG owners are confident we are better than Dornoch since we beat him once way back in Dornoch's very first race. That being said, I don't think, even if we don't win the Lexington or Bluegrass, the Derby will be out of the picture if we get in with 27 points.

Someone just told me that mrh is currently trying to work with the connections of both inspector and salute to America to try and get both horses retired. That there will be additional updates soon on both horses who did not finish their last race at parx. Inspector pulled up and salute to America vanned off

If seize the Grey pulled it off and won..I think that's the biggest payout per share for first place I've ever had.$70 for first,$21 for second,$10 for third

Results
Adaay in Asia finished 8th in Wilshire Stakes(G3) on 4/4
Legitify finished 8th on debut at Santa Anita on 4/4

Entries
Chasing Time entered in Eclipse Stakes(Listed) at Oaklawn Park on 4/5
Guinevere entered in MSW at Keeneland on 4/5
Man Among Men entered in allowance at Santa Anita on 4/6
Pioneer Prince entered in allowance at Santa Anita on 4/5
Seize the Grey entered in Blue Grass(G1) at Keeneland on 4/6

Legitify disappointed on debut since he was highly touted both before his time off and recently.

Inspector and Salute to America have been reacquired by MRH and send to Second Stride for retirement and rehoming

The furor (and fervor) around Seize the Grey this week is so loud, that I've decided not to look. :lol: Suffice to say, lots of unrealistic hopes and strongly opinionated folks. I do agree @Tapitsgal, I think this is the biggest payout I've ever seen-and that's compared to Tizamagician and Forbidden Kingdom.

You are smart to not look at the STG chatter going on. Its a bit wild :lol: but I can't stop myself. It's sort of like seeing a car accident on the road, you just have to look even though you don't want to.

Some of the Legitify comments have also been head scratching like someone saying he should not be on turf because he is sired by Justify and had a dirt pedigree. MRH owner groups are entertaining to read some days.

I have a share of Legitify and yeah, that was a letdown. Of course I have a front row seat for the "Take him off the turf!" comments but to be fair, a lot of people do point out the Galileo influence and that Justify has sired a lot of turf winners.
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

I was one of those that had fun leading that crusade, I admit :lol:

Just A Touch has been training really well at Keeneland for Cox. He wanted to GO GO GO today in his gallop. His rider had to really hold him back. I think he's the one that we should be side-eyeing to upset the top two.

Forbidden Kingdom would have paid out $140 plus an $1,800 stallion bonus if he had won the Santa Anita Derby :( I thought it was going to be my lucky day lol. Hoping things go better with Seize the Grey.

Well there's definitely a very humbled seize the Grey ownership group right now. Hopefully the horse comes out of the race okay and now we can move on from derby fever to a more realistic target

What, the same people that say “Yay for the KD Derby” have resigned themselves to the fact that STG isn’t a Derby horse? Shocking

So far I'm seeing people say they hope the horse is okay. And that maybe he was run too soon after the Jeff ruby(which is a concern myself and others had weeks ago about timing and pissed people off)
