Wed. Misc.

But, what a Santa Anita Derby shaping up training wise! Has this happened before in my lifetime? Although I previously fretted over lack of Pamplemoose activity post last race, they're obviously back on schedule and doing again what brung 'em. Chocolate Candy unfortunately probably will need the race, but I hope that Dorf keeps on with him regardless of finish. In the final analysis would you bet against Baffert?

Simultaneously Beethoven is sent out for a :59 and change after 3 weeks in a stall. I read a blurb a week or so ago by John Ward that B requires only light training.

Training:
Tues. 3/24 Off. The good news, it only rained 1/2 inch. Bad news: 5 of next 6 days show rain.
Wed. 3/25: Off. 2 off days planned after a hard week last week in anticipation of weather.
