FOY and Hutch

Today they get serious. In the coming weeks they will really start to sort themselves out.

To Honor And Serve is the early second choice for the Derby and really looks to be the real goods. He may be a tad short today but I think he will still have enough to prevail.

Soldat hasn't hit a fast dirt track yet so it's a little up in the air with him. I always believed that a horse of derby quality should be able to run on anything.

Gourmet Dinner is getting a jock change which usually happens when the horse is hitting serious company. Last Monday they switched to RD on J P's Gusto and what happened, he got boxed, so much for big jock changes.

Shackleford stretched out nicely and may build on that.

GP R10 --- 7,1,8,2

Hutcheson---

Crossbow may be scratched from this.
Travlin Man ran a big number in his only start but is bred to go long. Manicero is on a roll and loves the distance so I can't fault him until he gets beat. Madman Diaries has already run well against graded company and may be able to get up late here.

GP  R9 --- 3,9,2,8,

Good Luck,
Backstretch
