There you haves it. As of now, Halo Najib is the last one in, but if either Eight Belles or Behindatthebar go, he's out, and if both go, that shows Denis of Cork the door. Probably one or neither will go though, so Dave Carroll's charge should be safe. Personally, I'd like to see a defection or two to get Indian Sun in, as he's a horse that I think could crack the super at a humongous price. By the way, why does Blogger flag "humongous" for spell check? I'm pretty sure that's a real word.

There's definitely some ambiguity on this side over whether ten-cent supers will be available on the Derby. No official word that I can find, and I've heard claims on both ends about it. It's of import to me, because as a broke ass college student, this will likely be the difference between whether I attack the tri or take a shot at the super next Saturday.
